Mothers Day never affected me, I think because DD was born six weeks before, and my first Mothers Day I had just gotten home from college, and was so intent on keeping my secret I wouldn't allow myself to think of the fact that I was a mother. No one knows about DD in my family, and no one who does know of her ever brings her up without me doing it first. Now and then I can remember feeling a bit empty on subsequent Mothers Days, but nothing debilitating. I didn't even know there WAS a Birthmothers Day until I joined this forum last summer. But I do think it's ironic that for a period of time, my mom and I did an annual Mothers Day outlet shopping trip on the Saturday before Mothers Day.
This year on Saturday I will be doing my Pre-Cana class for my wedding, and on Sunday I will see my mom and grandmother for brunch and dinner at my fiance's parents house. I would LOVE to hear something from DD's a mom seeing that it is the first year I have had contact with her in a long time, but I'm not really holding my breath!
Happy Mothers Day everyone!!!
