It's not often that people acknowledge on Mothers Day that there are others out there who don't have their Mum here anymore. I lost my Mum 3 years ago when I was 16. On Mother's Day, I just remember her... Luckily I have my Nan here and I can spoil her :-)<br /><br />Thanks again, Taylor xxTaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426233619532371192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-8234464128227086922010-05-12T05:39:53.073-07:002010-05-12T05:39:53.073-07:00Thanks for thinking of those who find the day a li...Thanks for thinking of those who find the day a little more difficult to deal with.

It's ...Oh,Disney, thank you for thinking of us. It's always been so clear that you were a sweetheart, but the fact that you thought of those without children just says it all. At 55, I'm still heartbroken over not having children, although I love my six godchildren and all my other nieces and nephews so much. Joining Catholic Mothers Online gave me a great deal of comfort, because it welcomes not just mothers, but godmothers and "those women who are mothers at heart," and it also asks "isn't every woman a mother at heart?"Cuscinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093186216954272582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-368960571406498822010-04-23T23:03:28.833-07:002010-04-23T23:03:28.833-07:00Thank you for this post, it really meant a lot to ...Thank you for this post, it really meant a lot to me.

Bitter because I struggled with infertility and loss for years (I had two early miscarriages, and lost my beautiful son who died shortly after birth). Sweet, because after years of heartache, my DH and I were so blessed to finally have a living child. While Mother's Day is now more sweet than bitter for me, I can't tell you how much it means to have others acknowledge that, in the midst of celebration, there are others for whom the day is a painful reminder of what the so desperately want, or of what they have lost. Many hugs to those mamas who hold their babies in their dreams and hearts, but not their arms on this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-62566032543278491242010-04-22T15:17:05.464-07:002010-04-22T15:17:05.464-07:00I am blessed in that I have two phenominal childre...I am blessed in that I have two phenominal children, and my Mother is still with us (very much so).

Then I got to struggle with infertility, and Mothers Day was a cruel reminder not only of what I lost with my Mom, but also my continued struggles, losses, and fear that I would never be a Mom myself.<br /><br />Fast forward to now and I have a gorgeous little girl. Mothers Day can be happy again.janimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916480082033700432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379969093490103099.post-54490932103570149342010-04-22T13:12:09.930-07:002010-04-22T13:12:09.930-07:00I needed this today.

Like me for example, I know of her and stuff but mothers day is soo hard for me because I never got that mother-daughter bond, I was adopted yes but then I got un-adopted (if thats even a word? I do not know I will have to google later-I'd be lost without google lol) I was abused along with my 3 brothers. & bounced around from foster homes and what not kinda like the new series Life Unexpected minus the finding of the parents. I didn't gain a mother until I married my husband on Aug. 18, 2007. Well, before then really but you know what I mean. &then when I became a mother on April 24th, 2008. 2years on Sat! But it is hard that I can't go to my own mother for advice or help, I had to be my own parent. But I am grateful for the women in my life now that have shown me love an support through me dealing with the lack of a mom. But I am blessed with 2 daughters so I can break the cycle and be the best mom I can be so they don't ever have to feel what I felt/still feel at times. But I do love this post & thanks for the hug! Back atcha!
