Hard day

I am having a very hard time today. Chris is constantly on my mind I miss him soooooo much. I feel so grouchy. My other son Steven was working today, he came by on his lunch to give me hugs. =) Yesterday his wife Dacey came by with the baby,  always a happy surprise,  we exchanged gifts & visited for most of the day. Today she went to spend the day with her mother, which she should.  It is her first mothers day, she is such a good mommy, and wife to my son.  But why am I so grouchy ??  I'm not a hallmark holiday person, I think birthdays & anniversary's are important.  The other day I said in front of my son Steven "mothers Day isn't a big day to me" he said "why, your no longer a mother" I said "yes I am, but everyday is mothers day to me" I felt bad as if he doesn't feel important. Oh but he is and I tell him all the time how much I love him.  YES I am rambling & I guess feeling sad. I'm so happy we have this site to ramble. I know you all understand ........ but, sorry  for you that you do.
And now I'm crying, my husband just said, "Happy mothers day,  I miss mister (we called Chris that) he would be over here with you" And he is right Chris was always there for me ...... I miss him so much ....... and again I am not a hallmark holiday  person but today i am so sad .... I guess cuz i know other mothers are spending time with their kids ...  Hope you all are having a pleasant day ! Happy Mothers Day !! HUGS !!

You\'re not alone. I\'m not a hallmark type person either, but I too am having trouble getting through today. I miss my Jason so much. But I am grateful I still have my other son Jim. Holidays are so hard.

You are definitely not alone! I opened Facebook and saw photos of my sister\'s family together having brunch. She has 5 children, grandchildren and 3 greatgrandkids. I have 2 children and one granddaughter. And one of my children is in heaven.
I cried for most of the day.
I hope you have a better week.
Hugs, Marlene

Mother\'s Day is another day the calendar seems to dictate my mood...no matter how hard I try to not let it. I too was angry last night...no reason to be....the day was all that it could be, but at the end of the day I just felt....well, mad. We made it through though didn\'t we? Hope today is better for you..and for me too. Hugs, Teri.

I understand what you are describing and knowing that we can come here and just let it all out with others who \"get it\" means so much. I\'m hopeful that today has been a gentle day for you as I believe most of us are letting out a huge exhale. Hugs, Joanie
