I have struggled with Mother's Day this year becaue I just lost my mother on February 9th. After running through a gamut of emotions, I realized that she is still my mother and I will honor her on this special day, as well as every day. Even if you don't have your mother near you, take a moment to remember the good times and the blessings you have (even those you might not realize you have or had in the past).
I will forever miss my mother - her laughter, kindness, creativity - but I will forever have her in my heart. I hope you have been as lucky as me.
