[quote=Anonymous]I didn't post anything. My mother never liked Mother's Day herself, e.g. didn't like going to brunch when everyone else was (and paying a premium), etc. Her philosophy is that you should show appreciation every day of the year, and if you do, then no need to have a special day for it. That has rubbed off on me. I'd rather my kids be more appreciative over the year than to do a card (they didn't) and feel that they've done enough.
One of my FB friends, in her post, said that she was also "holding in her heart those of you who find this day painful". I thought that was very thoughtful and it does highlight how this isn't a great time for a good many people out there: single people that haven't gotten to marry/have kids, people who may have fertility challenges or have miscarried, people whose moms have passed away, or people who have difficult relationships with their moms. I know people in all those categories.
I do hope that those of you who observe it with more gusto than I do have had a wonderful day. [/quote]
