[quote=Anonymous]I lost my mom in my teens and remember that for a long time after she died I couldn't watch any sort of program on TV, even commercials, featuring a mom. It was too painful and I felt like the freaky girl without a mom. However, I'm conflicted about whether I'd want to do away with special events for moms, dads, etc. On the one hand it can be painful to be the kid who is different and to be reminded of a loss. At the same time, it is part of that child's reality, good or bad, and the world cannot always be expected to conform to our situation. On balance, I guess I'd prefer to see something like "Parents and Special Friends' Day", especially if we're talking about young children. Every child deserves a chance to feel good about their family situation.[/quote]
