Mother's Day used to be very hard for me

Tweet

I am the mother of a beautiful, precious 2.5 yr old boy and he is the light of my life. But for years my husband and I believed we would never have children. We tried for 10 years, the doctors never found any reason why it wasn't happening. We moved on and I grew to accept our lot in life. But Mother's Day was becoming a day that I never wanted to leave home. I live in a part of my country where people are very friendly to each other on a regular basis. On Mother's Day strangers, like check out clerks or waiters, would always say happy mother's day to me. I guess I just look like a mom type. I always knew they were just being friendly but I have ended up in my car crying on many occassions. I would smile to them and just think to myself 'well, I AM my dogs mommy'. Are there days when you just know it might be best to not leave your home because you might end up sobbing or snapping at someone??
