(14) Mother's day

Mother's day approached.
I have never really enjoyed Mother's day especially since my son has lived with his dad from the age of 8. Rach tends to appear late afternoon as she has either been hungover or she lies in totally forgetting its Mother's day. Its then all panic because she needs to get Matt either to sign the card or to come and visit me.
I lost my mum a few ago and have happy memories of Mothers day with her, she had all her daughters and son there, it was like Christmas day, so again I do feel quite upset to how mine are in comparison, I don't want gifts a card before midday would be perfect!
Rach does go out of her way to find the most gorgeous card with the most sentimental verse in, she can then laugh at me as I cry when I read it.
Prior to Mother's day, Rach informed me that she had found it very difficult to purchase a suitable card as the verses were so inappropriate to our situation, Matt had been no help. I will paste an extract from her blog as to how it was...

He was being a little dick though when picking a card for mothers day. He finds the whole situation hilarious for some unknown reason. There was cards saying 'I want to grow up to be just like you' or 'Thank you for bringing me up to be a person I love being' and so on. I clearly didn't find it funny and I'm pretty sure my mum would flip than see it was my brothers childish sense of humour. So yeah, tried to find one that would make her cry as I think its funny to watch her get all worked up when reading a card but most of them were shit so it a pretty simple one with about 3 lines on. I thought it was cute though :)

 Matt eventually came around to see me, it was teatime. He sat with us at the table. They were both in a silly mood laughing and joking. Matt then mentioned the card situation and Rach repeated the incident in the card shop, I asked her to shut up. I stood up to leave the dining room, Rach asked for a hug something she will do if she knows she has upset me, I refused and went into the kitchen. Rach went upstairs Matt came to me, he just stood quietly, I think this is probably the 1st time he ever saw me cry.
