For some Mother's Day is a heartbreaking day, a day that some just want to end.
It appears that the whole country is playing happy families, flowers, chocolates etc hugs and kisses being shared.
There are thousands of grandmothers who will, this year, as like many years passed won't be sharing the day with their son/daughter, because for a variety of reasons there has been conflict, misunderstandings that has lead to no contact.
As a Mum, having a child is extraordinary, nurturing that child, teaching them enabling them to grow wings and fly and make their own way in the world is such a privilege, so what on earth goes wrong?
In some cases there is total hatred, a word I don't like to use, but I this it is appropriate. It is hatred, why? What can be so bad that you hate your own Mum?
Recently I have made the error of reading comments written by women under various articles in the press, and I can honestly say that they to are full of hate.
Ok, there is no doubt that in a small number of cases there is good reason.
There are elderly Mums, Mums who are terminally who are saying that their fear is that they will not be able to say goodbye to their son/daughter as they reach the end of their lives.
One of the most difficult things is forgiveness, but for me I have to believe that I can forgive, what about you?
