Happy Mothers Day!
U might be wondering why I have put 'Mothers' in my title, well that is because this is not only to wish all the women with children a Happy Mothers Day, but to wish all the women who care for others as if they were their children, a Happy Mothers Day. This might sound a tad odd, and no the chemo hasn't completely addled my brain but since i joined this site, there have been many people who have shown great care and concern towards me. Albeit it isn't only the ladies but today is about women so we will save the thank you's to the men for another day.
Being 26, I notice there are quite alot of women on here who have children of a similar age to myself, sometimes older or younger but stil, they always show the type of concern a mother shows and this i find gives me a lovely feeling to know somebody cares about me in the same way they do their children. There are also alot of women without children, but they show concern and care and compassion whenever something isn't quite right.
I know it sounds like i am rambling but i'm basically using this day as an excuse to thank all the women on here for being there for me, even tho many have their own problems and concerns, they still have time to offer support to myself and others. My own mum hasn't passed and for that i am very grateful because she has been wonderful in looking after me but having u all here makes a big difference :)
Also, for those who have lost a mother or a daughter and r feeling a little down today, my thoughts r with u and special love goes out to u all today for being so strong as to get through it and help others in the process.
Basically, you are all very special, whether u have children or not, you are all wonderfully strong and caring women!
Right, i now feel the need for a bucket because that was a very out of character soppy rant but i meant every single word of it :)
Love and hugs to all
