Seen on a bumper sticker recently....."Only the best moms get promoted to grandma".
Ouch! As a mom who has lost her only child and precious daughter this one really hurt.

It\'s amazing how the simplest things get to us... I first heard the cancer assoc new commercial \"the sponsor of birthdays\" right after Jenn died from cancer.. and it had me sooo upset.
Oh come ON a bumper sticker???? Let me tell you that there are women pumping out children who have children all over the world and it has nothing to do with \"best\". In fact, I see every day mothers doing things that I find totally unacceptable and sometimes outrageous! DO NOT beat yourself up. I lost my only child and precious daughter too, a year ago. The worst thing that could have happened (other than her going to God which was good for her but horrible for me) was if she had a CHILD! MOST CHILDREN DO NOT RECEIVE GOOD MOTHERING, I should know, I was one of them. YOU WERE THE BEST MOTHER YOU COULD BE, SO WAS I. STOP beating yourself up, my friend. Not only will it not HELP, it will HURT.

Shame on the maker of that bumper sticker,,,I\'m sure they meant no harm, but the hurt is still there. (((hugs))
Ok...now you get the violent pissed off comment! I live in the mid-west. That ^&*% doesn\'t fly here. I would have followed her til (don\'t care how far) then I would have reamed her a knew one. People think their cutsie little things don\'t matter. Ya know what ! it does. What if I drove around with big F*$*% signs on my car that said my only child/son was brutally and most violently beaten, stomped, and Kicked (until it raised his body off the ground) for no reason....then they let the asshats off who did it - no room in the jails there! SO....I don\'t get to be a grandma! What do you think people would think about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
