[quote=Anonymous]So far, so good!

We officially celebrated yesterday because my youngest graduated from college (don't get me started on Elizabethtown College's terrible decision to have the graduation outside in the pouring rain with no tents)and it was my husband's birthday, so we rolled Mother's Day in there, too. My sons and their significant others, my MIL, and my husband's aunt all came over after the graduation and we had catered food. It was great!

My mother hasn't spoken to me since July, 2024 (she's done this since I was a small child, sometimes for years on end, and to nearly everyone in the family at one time or another), so I have no idea what she's up to today. I wish her well, but am glad she'll be somewhere else. I'm an only child, so she's got no one else to celebrate her. Fortunately for her, I raised 3 sons who will remember her today and reach out.

My most favorite part of yesterday was the card my DIL gave me that thanked me for welcoming her into the family and said that I'm like a second mom to her. After not having a great maternal example, I'm beyond grateful to have broken the cycle and have built awesome relationships with my DIL and DIL-to-be.

Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate! Hugs to those for who find this day painful.[/quote]
