Good morning and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms here, especially you, dear Cyn.
Cyn, your feelings are legitimate and understandable. May you find some peace today.
It'll be very good for you and your hubby to have Amber and her hubby there. Some time apart will be good for you both, I'm sure. ANd to share that time with Amber will be the best medicine.
Sudcaro---a very special Happy Mothers Day to you! This has been a difficult year for us both and you have still always been here for me even with your own problems.....you are one special person and a very special Mom!
So I went through my "poor me" cause I had to prepare dinner and do all of my "normal" jobs--guess I was thinking I should have a day off but as we all know that does not always apply to some situations..certainly not our situation here. Eating out is difficult if not impossible for my DH for several reasons...I'm sure you are all aware of those reasons...still I missed not getting out for the evening. My kids did both call and even DH's son called so I did not feel forgotten....just a little sad because life has changed so much here. It did make my poor DH feel guilty and badly for the situation--was it worth that..no...and I am so sorry for that. I don't mean to be so selfish it just happens sometimes but then I remind myself of what is going on--reality--and I get back to my routine. Critters are fed, we are fed, now to clean up the kitchen and I can relax. Just wish I could sleep at night...lately I'm up and down all night long--my mind is going a million miles an hour it seems--I think about everything--things I cannot change or do anything about but it still works on my mind--especially at night. I suppose it is just all a part of what is going on...just hope to sleep a whole night soon--I am so very tired. Anyhow all in all today was a good Mothers Day and I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
Sweet Cyn - I see today sucked? (You know me - so subtle! :0 )
You worry so much about sounding "negative", or "poor Me", etc. Hon, don't you realize that you are one of those special, sweet people that are really transparent with their feelings? That is not a weakness, it is a blessing. You are trying so hard to ........almost "justify?" your feelings, because you think that you should be stronger, or more caring, or that you are too "whiney" or too emotional, or too weak, or whatever. Honey.....you ARE NOT too much or too little of anything. You are dealing with something that most of us will never have to. Why, why, WHY is it that you think that you should be prepared for this? WHY do you think that you are failing in this in some way or another? There IS no right way, or wrong way of dealing with this. It is all subjective, and so very personal.
YOU are dealing with this as best as you can. The reason (in my opinion) that you worry so much, is because you love and care so very much. Having said that...............HOW COULD YOU EVER FAIL? Honestly, that is the best gift anyone could ever give! TRUE love and caring. THAT is what you are doing now. Don't you know that? We sure do!
Hugs Hugs Hugs!!!!!!
