Happy Mother’s Day

[Jttalways]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers on here. It’s hard to not have our significant others here with us, but I wish you all a wonderful day. Continue to stay strong especially if you have minor children. I am grateful for my son, he motivates me to stay strong and keep moving each day. For the life of me I can’t remember what we did for last year’s Mother’s Day. My husband had a brief reprieve from the hospital this time last year and I can’t remember what we did. I wish I had taken more pictures and documented more. I am missing my husband so much and I would give anything to go back to last year.

Happy Mother's Day to you too @Jttalways 

My biggest reason to keep continue living, and still sane is my son, being his mom. So yeah I guess I can congratulate myself and others on this day, I am proud to be mother. Life without my husband, it's never gonna be the same. I miss him, my son miss his father.

Happy Mother’s Day to you as well.  My husband always made me whatever I wanted for dinner and brought me chocolate.  He usually bought me fun things like hanging baskets for the front porch or the bottle filled with fairy lights to hang in the garden.  One year he made me a cute stand to hang my hanging baskets from.  
 

This year my in-laws took my daughter to let her pick something out for me.   She bought me a beautiful hanging basket for the front porch.  My husband was going to get me some fruit trees this year.  I wanted to plant a little orchard near our seasonal creek where it is sub irrigated.  So I am going to clear out a spot and plant some in his honor.   He loved growing his own food and gardening.

This was the worst Mother's Day I can remember, all alone, didn't hear from my kids until past my bedtime so stayed up late talking to them, only slept four hours.  I miss my church, my kids, grandkids, friends, my life.  Bad enough to have to live alone but this feels unbearable.  Sorry to seems like such a downer.  I rather imagine I am not alone in how I'm feeling...

@KayC So sorry you had a bad day Kay. Mine wasn't great. I did NOTHING all day. The Wienerschnitzel by my house was giving out free chili dog meals to moms so I got 1 of those. That's literally all I did. Big whoop. I am so sick of this quarantine.

Oh @KayC... I'm so sorry you have a bad Mother's day this year. Here where I live, we don't celebrate Mother's day on that date (May), it's on Dec.. (don't ask me, I don't know too why it's on Dec). I also miss many things, I really want to visit and spend some nights in my mom's house. My son also wishes to visit his grandma, but we still can't. The restrictions is for another 2 more weeks. I hope this pandemic will end soon.

Our restrictions haven't lifted yet and are going in phases, hopefully they'll begin the process Friday, our county applied to, will hear back but I still won't be able to see my kids or go to church which is what I want.  Or dine in with my family.

You and me both.  This isn't much of a life.  And Joe, the neighbor's chow that I walk every day...something was wrong with him yesterday, staggering around, couldn't walk straight, I had to contact his owner and let her know about it.  They watched him and said he was like that for hours.  I offered to help pay the vet bill should they need to take him in.  They have a baby on the way and no medical insurance.  I'm not made of money on social security but I love Joe like my own.  Today he was better.  Maybe low blood sugar?  They said it lasted for hours even after feeding him.  If he'd had a stroke he probably wouldn't be able to walk today either.  Ear infection?  I don't know.
