I was going to write a post about how, for me, Mother’s Day is worse than being single on Valentine’s Day.
My news feed is flooded with celebratory statuses (stati?), pictures with of people with their moms, videos of that surprise visit home, and publicly endearing messages of love, support, appreciation, and gratitude. I have tremendously strong women in my life, including a wonderful stepmom, but that doesn’t make this day hurt any less.
And then I remembered that come Father’s Day I am one of many who shares celebratory statuses (stati)?, pictures with my dad, videos of that surprise visit home, or publicly endearing messages of love , support, appreciation, and gratitude. And there is someone out there on Father’s Day who feels the same sense of loss that I do today.
So for whoever is out there who may grieve a little harder on June 19 this year than other days, I feel you. Of course, be happy for others and be happy for those you do have in you life, but I totally feel you.
