  Daughter broke her foot in Church that morning and in the afternoon my husband backed my car into a pole crunching the tailgate of my jeep.

  Sorry to hear that. Maybe there are reasons you don't yet know about and that's the reason they didn't come to see you. Your hubby on the other hand I don't know what to tell you. My hubby and I have been together awhile I am lucky if he remebers what day things are let alone get me something. Even if I do hint around about a birthday mothers day valentines day, etc. I may get a card. Usually though I have to tell him and he will say happy b-day or happy mothers day, etc. I know he loves and he'll always be there and I am used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore.

  Here's a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!! from me

  Remeber things could be worse keep your head up tomorrows another day.

  I made a will for my mothers day gift to me. I lost my youngest child 7 yrs ago and it has forever changed my life. Most of the changes have not been good ones, divorce, family voids because they didnt respect my decisions on my daughters services etc. What they didn't know is that due to a death of one of her friends, she was able to tell me what she knew she DID NOT WANT. She was only 17, and the best mothers day present i could get is to not wake up on May 25th,(death anniversary) and we would then be together forever. Sorry to bring other Mothers' down that have the best Mothers' Days ahead of them yet, but as you get older they are not all that they are hyped up to be..... forever Steph's Mom

  Sorry about that.

  Anyway, i sometimes forget to get a gift for my mom(or dad)but that doesn't mean I love them any less.

  Try not to let it get you down.

  After reading Ellie's comments and Kate's and some of the others I feel very lucky to have the kids and husband I have. I feel bad for you mom's who are not appreciated as you should be. I have not always been the greatest mom or wife that is for sure, but I haven't been penalized too badly for it.

  I will be thinking of you Ellie and you Kate your sadness and loss. I share that sadness. I lost my mom years ago, but it still hurts. I know itmust not be the same as losing a child. Ellie there are worst lives in the world than being taken for granted or forgotten on a special day. However, I know it still must hurt as it is your life. I will think of all of you in my prayers. Bless you Ellie and all of you who are hurting.

  Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. Your husband can be overlooked although it is very selfish of him not to at least give you a card but what I can't forgive are your children. After the day is past, you need to have a good heart to heart talk with them and tell them just how much they hurt you on the one day in the year set aside for remembering "mom".
