Sure.
Mother's Day is so difficult.
I hear so many stories of women that would stand in front of the row of Hallmark cards, reading them, and not one single card felt authentic, felt real.
Like, I can't pick up this card because that's not the way my mother
That's not how I experience her.
And I've talked to women who lost their mothers, and on Mother's Day, being in school, and there are things you're supposed to be doing, artwork or projects, to bring home to mom.
How tragic that is.
I have noticed, and I don't know if you've noticed this, but in the last three years,
I've noticed that some social media and marketing campaigns have started to develop some sensitivity to this.
They may even put a trigger warning out.
If you don't want to hear about us or about Mother's Day, block us during May.
And I've been encouraged by this, that there's a recognition that this is not going to feel good for everybody.
And it can be difficult as a daughter.
It can be difficult as a woman who wanted children and didn't get to have them.
It can be difficult for mothers who lost children.
It is difficult in so many ways.
It is.
And speaks right to the fact that our culture sentimentalizes it, minimizes what an essential, important relationship this is.
Right.
Or saw you.
