MOTHER'S DAY MANY YEARS AGO....

I REMEMBER MY MOTHER DID NOT LIKE MOTHER'S DAY.  HER MOTHER HAD PASSED AWAY ON MOTHER'S DAY WHEN I WAS IN THE SECOND GRADE, AND SHE ALWAYS SEEMED SO EMOTIONAL THAT DAY.  I HAD PROMISED MYSELF THAT I WOULD NOT DISLIKE MOTHER'S DAY AFTER SHE PASSED AWAY (BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE SEEING MY MOTHER SAD).  I THINK I DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB UNTIL THIS PAST YEAR AFTER BEN PASSED AWAY.  THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PAIN AND SADNESS....AND ESPECIALLY ON THESE DAYS.
I AM TRYING TO KEEP THAT PROMISE TO MYSELF AND REMEMBER THAT I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND 2 DAUGHTER IN LAWS THAT ARE WONDERFUL MOTHERS AND I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE THEM RAISING OUR GRANDCHILDREN.
