Oceans, you are wonderful! I was feeling sorry for myself, you know, my raised kids are older and didn't "forget" mother's day but no card, presents, had to be reminded for a hug but then I thought, well, they are comfortable in my love for them. I don't need cardboard or flowers to know that they love me - they tell me all the time. Why should 1 day be marked for that? Don't get me wrong, I have issues with mother's day and maybe this year the "no gifts/cards" had more to do with the fact that I was hoping for something from bson but, at the same time, I did get to spend most of the morning with one of my raised kids and the other called me later in the day to cry on my shoulder and get advice - maybe the real reason for "mother's day". Take time to reflect on how important it is to be there for anyone.
Anyway, long post, sorry, but I'm going to take your position - I will, from now on, celebrate mother's day by being a "better" mother instead of thinking how I may have been ignored. I usually try to be positive, but I have to say this day as been brutal for the last 28 years and maybe that's the problem - too much emphasis on the wrong thing!
