It must be the TIME of the Year---Mothers Day

I am not quite sure why the emotions "crowd" up on me around this time...perhaps it's just coming out of a sleepy winter and lots of things are awakening including my feelings . One thing I know for sure is Mothers Day is next week , I am experiencing melancholy and a bit of loneliness.....not typical of my personality !  Also reviewed my posts on this subject and there are  4  excerpts out of  over 350    So  I know this is a redundant topic.

I must say I am a very independent woman and am not one to ask for help or assistance unless it is absolutely necessary, however I am an extremely emotional person ....Mothers Day just gets to me. I find it challenging to portray my thoughts because I do not want it to sound like an "oh poor me scenario"....It is not
What "it" is :  is my need to describe how different our (many mothers of children who are disabled) experience is so much different from the rest of the world  and although its not about pity or compassion or even empathy it's more about explaining a world that I don't believe most people even knows exists.. I know there has to be someone in every ones life that knows one of these Mothers, is friends with one of these mothers , works with one of these mothers or somehow has contact with one of these mothers....My point is that our kids love us yet will never be the one to surprise us with a Toaster Strudel and the morning newspaper in bed  or even one that has the ability to go any place and pick out a card yet they will be the same ones who reiterate and yammer for days if not weeks before that Mothers Day is coming....

Now no one can replace what a mother would want her child to do but this is more about any little kindness that could be passed on like trading a shift, or  a phone call just to see how they are, giving a coupon for money off a dinner or even a simple eye to eye greeting with a "hello how ya doin".

I really must say I think this is more about the masses out there but it's driven by my experience...this can translate throughout the year .....for me it's just The Time of the Year that makes me sit down and post! B T W  Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers cuz I know we all have our own dragons to slay and different situations...Make the best of the DAY!
