Mother's Day
I survived Mother's Day. Thanks to my new found friends,Prozac and Ativan, it wasn't dreadful. My DH and kids really did a great job of making it special for me. We took Grandma out to lunch and she seemed to enjoy it.
I became the most upset after DH called his mom. She lives in SC and has very little to do with our family. She didn't even ask how we were doing. She's very self centered. It makes me so sad that this is the Grandma my kids are left with. She didn't even acknowledge Christmas or their birthdays!! My mom always made a big deal over their birthdays and as previously mentioned, Christmas was huge!!
Last year for DD birthday, Mom had gotten her diagnosis that week, but still came to our house with donuts and balloons to help celebrate. We never would have imagined then that it would be the last birthday she'd celebrate.
Anyway, the realization upset me. But, I had a good cry and then moved on. I wasn't so silly as to hope for a day with no crying. I just didn't want it to be all consuming.
Hopefully, next year will be a little easier.
