While others sit around with their families enjoying a day of celebrating the idea of motherhood, I have no idea what I will find myself doing.
Seeing as how I don't have my mom, or my parents for that matter, I don't really know how to celebrate or if I should celebrate at all. There are days where I think of my parents, specifically my mother and reminisce. There are also days where I go on about my life as if I gave it to myself.
Working retail, I see fathers and their children of all ages going around the mall searching for the perfect gift to give. What am I searching for?
Having Facebook, I see people posting new default photos of them in their mothers and families and whatnot to celebrate. What do I post?
On Twitter, a friend of mine who has three beautiful younger siblings posts a photo of the brand new white iPhone 4 that he bought his mother for Mother's Day. What do I brag about?
And at school, everyone is talking about their weekend plans with their parents and going out to dinner and surprises. What do I discuss?
I'm searching for closure.
I post a new picture of myself.
I brag about Stevenson.
I discuss my phony content.
So on this holiday I will celebrate with the family that I have and pay my respects to all of the mothers out there. Unfortunately I won't feel the thankfulness and fulfillment that everyone else will be enjoying.
So Happy Mother's Day to my mother--who has so clearly forgotten about her second child.
