Mother’s Day

I remember wanting to be an adult to spoil my mom with beautiful gifts. She deserved the world. I would go outside and pick flowers. Unfortunately, she passed away, and I never got the opportunity. I miss her so much. As I get older, Mother’s Day is indeed a double-edged sword. It’s a reminder that she’s gone and that my dream of having a family is out of reach. Twenty-eight isn’t old, but if you had to grow up quickly like I did, you’d understand. Ever since I was a girl, I wanted to be a mother. I wanted to start a family at 25, almost four years later, without a partner and a child. Being wished a Happy Mother’s Day with my dream crushed is a different pain. I feel so unaccomplished and ashamed. Maybe someday.
