I have been handling things, better... for a while. So I was wondering if this Blog had lived it's life, ready to be ended. Nope, not a chance! Today made me realize there are still alot of people to be educated out there about CNBC...
I was standing in Walmart picking out Mother's Day cards, actually chipper and not pouting or depressed. I loved the cards from the dog or cat. When a lady spoke up that she couldn't find "aunt" cards. Smiling I said, "Oh, there's a few here" (Pointing infront of me) and stepped aside. She found what she needed and started to leave. Looking back at myself and another lady standing beside me she says "Happy Mother's Day, well..., if you are a mother." And turned the corner as she walked away.
I stood there frozen at first, then slowly dropped my head and my shoulders went limp. The lady beside me never said a word, and eventually left. I held it together for a while... (about 5 mins) Then let loose......
Yes, I am the crazy lady standing in the walmart card section crying.
I called Lawrence for some reassurance, he know's something is wrong when I say "I just need a hug." I stood there trying to keep the mascara from running, listening to his loving words and trying to regain composure.
So many people out there need to remember and think before they speak. I would have said something if she had stuck around. I have been learning to, nicely and respectfully, quickly tell my story when the subject comes up. Just to educate... for those who are blessed. Please understand there are so many of us hurting. Who want to share in your joy, or who have shared - but have now lost their child. This week is a friend's first Mother's Day with out her adult son she lost recently. I am glad she wasn't standing there...............
