Consider this My love letter to you who are struggling today. 
* credit John Pavlovitz
"This is consent to feel fully the contents of your own heart without censorship.
If you are hurting, hurt.
May you feel permission to cry, to grieve, to be not alright.
May you relieve yourself of the burden of pretending everything is fine or faking stability or concealing the damage.
May you feel not a trace of guilt for any twinge of anger or pain that seizes you today, because it is your right to feel.
Above all though, may you find in your very sadness, the proof that your heart though badly broken, still works.
See your grief as the terrible tax on loving people well, and see your unquenched longing for something better as a reminder of the goodness within you that desires a soft place to land."
If on this Mothers Day you are hurting, know that you are not alone.
May these words be the flowers that you wait for or the call that won't come or the conversation that you can't have or the reunion that has not yet arrived.
In your profound anguish, know that you are seen and heard and that you are more loved than you realize.
Be greatly encouraged today.

I'm not really fond of being too emotional, but this is good reading.
Thanks for sharing it. ^^

Anallee...
Thank you so much. This year's Mother's Day is difficult for me as well, as I have borne witness to the ravages inflicted by my mom's ailment on her mind and personality. I treasure every moment of lucidity she's got left, for those will inexorably become scarcer as time passes.

Oh Ana, only a compassionate and special heart can feel this way. Special bonds will never fade, nor should they. Just remember that these feelings stem from a love and happiness that we are born into, something that is nurtured to grow in your heart and fill it, for all your days.
Thinking of you, sending hugs your way!

Fine words Analee, there is much wisdom in it.
Embracing what you feel, that's something we forget too much, and it's even worse when what you bury inside shut you from the others, denying them their own right to feel and be felt...
And don't forget to laugh too (maybe this will help : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0DeIqJm4vM)
Making a girl smile can be much more rewarding than bedding her...
