Infertility is difficult to deal with on any old day. Mother's Day is the worst. Yes, I take the time to recognize the awesomeness of my own mother, my Aiti. She deserves all the accolades I can muster. But while everyone else is enjoying special breakfasts, brunches, and bouquets, I'm only reminded of my failure to join that special mommy club. Never did I think that I would be 40 and childless. Never. Yet here I am. A childless mother.
So, to all of you suffering silently today while others celebrate and "Happy Mother's Day" updates overwhelm your Twitter or Facebook pages, I'm sending you a massive cyber hug and hoping that soon all of us will be able to partake in the celebrations.
