To Those Who Find Today Difficult To Bear

[rowanwitch]

Like Christmas it will soon be over... and then its time to buy some flowers for yourself. At least you will get them in a colour you like

[vakayu]

What a lovely sentiment rowanwitch,nice of you to think of those who do not think today is absolutely wonderful.Thanks for that.

...mothers day, scrivens...

[rowanwitch]

Really do not like mothers day...

[rowanwitch]

more an anti mother's day thread..

[boxtops]

I think not, those who are sceptical - I interpret this as rowan's thoughts for those who are missing their late mothers, or those who have lost children. I appreciate it very much.

Some folk are celebrating today 'Mothering Sunday' whereas to others it is regarded as 'Mothers Day'.

Thanks Rowan, I know it's only one day, but I find it hard sitting here on my own. My own mother died in 1966 but I still miss her. My family live 100+ miles away and though I have received lovely cards and presents I would rather be with them. Ah well, can't have everything.

[Butterbun]

I understand how you feel rowanwitch. I have friends who hates the day also. Hope you have a pleasant non-mother day just the same.

Participation in Mothers Day is not compulsory you know

Don't like it? Then simply ignore it, instead of moaning about it

[Baldric]

Not very considerate of the OPer Joe, imo

Thank you for thinking of others like myself Rowan, who would have loved the chance to be a Mum, after all these years I still find it hard ............... x

[anneasquith]

im not sure what an anti mothers day is ?

[paddywak]

Not really bothered about mothers day but Christmas is another matter. My mum died very suddenly two days before Christmas and it was the worst ever trying to explain to a bunch of kids why their beloved Nana isn't there to help open their presents. It's over thirty years ago but it's still not yhe same

[HansUrbancka]

@joeluke....I agree...."Participation in Mothers Day is not compulsory".
However, by the same token, if you Do Not like what is being posted in AB, then just ignore it.

@Baldric.....You have said...."Not very considerate of the OPer Joe, imo"...

Please explain your reason for thinking the OP inconsiderate.

Hans.

[EcclesCake]

Hans, I think Baldric was commenting on JL's lack of consideration towards the OPer.

[Sipowicz]

Scrivens, I like the cut of your jib. :-)

[Baldric]

I'll let the OPer speak for herself if she wants to,
I don't think Joe knows the reason, it's not for me to say.

[HansUrbancka]

Cheers Baldric.....Please accept my apology for what appears to be a misunderstanding.

Hans.
