It's that time of year again for Women's Day/Mother's Day. (or Celebrating Women's Day as I like to call it).
back story: When I was a young newly wed... I did not get pregnant for 7 LONG years. Mother's Day was the W.O.R.S.T. I can remember when I did not want to go to church, especially on Mother's day, year after year, after year, after year... well you get the picture. Flowers or candy or a special token was given out to all the 'mother's'. For as long as I can remember I have taught the Young Women at Church. One year we had an especially rousing Road Show the night before Mother's Day, and I really was excited to see all the youth so I went to church trying to ignore that it was Mother's day. With the celebration in full swing, they asked the young men (12 year old deacons) to pass out the flowers. I had a sincere boy hand me a flower and then promptly take it back saying I wasn't a mother. yeah, good times.
I did, finally, get pregnant and have two beautiful daughters. AND NOW I have four handsome step sons.
Happy Woman's Day/Mother's Day. You can see what I have made in the past here and here.

That is awesome. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to go through so many years without a child.
I dislike Mother's Day for other reasons.
You are a good woman to think of the women in your neighborhood.
