Yesterday was bittersweet to say the least.
On the one hand, it's a great excuse to honor the women that I love in my life. My mom, my grandmother, and my mother in law.
On the other hand, it's a terribly difficult day for my sister; who two years ago told everyone that she was pregnant on mother's day and then lost the baby at 6 months.
It's hard to find a happy medium. The cards that are mass produced certainly aren't mass produced for women who have lost a child. And it seems inappropriate to send a card that says "Happy" on it, when you know that she will not be happy on that day.
It's just hard. And so, it makes the day bittersweet, no matter what the family decides to do on that day.
I hope everyone else doesn't have to deal with such heartache on mother's day. Though I know that there are other families out there who have lost children or mothers. So, remember to tell them how much you care every day. Why wait until Hallmark tells us it's time to honor them?
