Mother's Day has been bitter sweet for me for over 40 years.  You see, I was 11 when my mom passed away.  Mother's Day became a confusing, sorrow-filled day - I would try to honour those who stood in place of my mom, but I was angry that MY mom was not there.  I would wonder what my life would be like if she had lived.  

I am now older than my mom ever was, by a few years.  I can now celebrate her for the strong woman she was and the role she played in my young life. 

And it is still bitter sweet for me.
