It's not that I don't love my mother, step-mother & mother-in-law, because I do.
I really, really do.
But, dammit, this year was supposed to be MY 1st Mother's Day.
Our baby's due date was in February.
And, I am so sick of turning on the TV & seeing yet ANOTHER commercial about Mother's Day & another gift idea for her.
The one that really gets me is the Mom & Dad pushing the little baby in a stroller & the Dad says, "Honey, we wanted to get you something really special since it's your 1st Mother's Day."
Yeah, I understand the reason for the ads, but it still sucks really bad.
And, to be quite honest, it really hurts.
When we all get together this Sunday for Mother's Day, I'll put on a big smile & give out the gifts Matt & I bought, but I'll know in my heart that something's missing.
That something is my baby, that I never got to meet.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry Robin, I know it must be very difficult. I gotta believe that your time will come!
Your feelings are valid and commercials have a way of touching sore spots. I truly hope you'll be celebrating your 1st Mother's Day soon. (I actually believe you are a mother despite what has happened. So, do take time to recognize your status on Sunday personally (and perhaps privately), even if others don't understand.)
