I've been pondering responding to this post but then felt bad about wether or not it would create further sadness.

I have to say Mother's day doesn't mean much as do the other holidays. I have a wonderful Mom & call her every couple of weeks not just on Mother's day. We email & call as often as we can even if there is a time difference.

As a teen I thought my parents were uncool but my friends told me otherwise. It wasn't until years later that I caught up with many of my school friends from base & realized how good a mom I really have.

I guess what i'm trying to say is, although there may be sadness in this thread, there's one chickie who's proud of having the mom she does.
