I agree: I wish that Mother's Day was "broader" and realized that not everyone's relationship to motherhood (either as a child, a mother, or a wanna-be mother) is filled with sunshine and roses.

Steve Gershom (blogger) that talks about opening up the concept of the human person: http://www.stevegershom.com/2012/11/enlarging-the-concept-of-the-human/ <br /><br />I don't know if that link will work, but I love what he has to say and it can totally be applied to infertility/childlessness. Mother's Day can be such a wonderful opportunity to spotlight all types of motherhood and help heal wounds. You are in my prayers!Made For Another Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225730808624654372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354490057851633467.post-85023571479620262532013-04-24T16:14:20.305-07:002013-04-24T16:14:20.305-07:00Mother's day was so hard for me last year as w...Mother's day was so hard for me last year as we had miscarried a few months prior. We ignored that it was mother's day and went out with a friend, whose mother had passed away, to lunch and a movie. I don't know about this year, ugh. Your plan sounds good! If you go to the Extraordinary form of the Mass in Latin chances are they won't really mention Mother's day because they do not pray for specific intentions there.

Or go on a date with your husband, to someplace not frequented by Mother's day revelers? Yes, it would be hard to hear about a one-year-old on Mother's Day, I completely agree...I hope you figure out a good plan!ecce fiatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354490057851633467.post-62809643616961315552013-04-24T13:13:51.478-07:002013-04-24T13:13:51.478-07:00Mother's Day was CD1 for me last year too, and...Mother's Day was CD1 for me last year too, and after an extra-long cycle, so was Father's day. ugh. (And funny, so was yesterday for me too... well at least we both know it won't be a repeat of last year!)<br /><br />I like your plan! I need to come up with a plan too. My husband thought he might try to get the weekend off, so that we could go to our friends' party back in Pittsburgh that Saturday and then spend Mother's Day with his family. I don't know if I can handle spending it with them again this year, honestly. Not that they are insensitive or anything... but last year they had just gotten back from Texas meeting their first grandchild. And this year they'll have just returned from celebrating his first birthday. Not what I want to hear about that day, you know? :-/ But I don't know if staying home alone will be good for me either...Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.com
