By the way, this year for Mother's Day, I didn't feel up to calling anyone. Even 11 years later, you never know how you're going to feel.

Yeah I guess you don't know how you will feel. I got myself all worked up with how I "should" feel, that then I was confused about what I really felt.
All in all, I didn't feel much sadness this mothers day. I'm sure it will hit me another day, or another mothers day. Cuz I know this is not something that just goes away.
You are right Burfica, it indeed does not go away. But don't drive yourself crazy anticipating how you'll feel.
Generally, I just say to myself - Self, you know such and such time is coming up. We'll be okay, but if not, I've got some vacation days I can use up :)
And I let people know. For instance, I've told my Boss about the coming weeks (Mom's Day, Mom's Birthday and Mom's Anniversay) so that he'd have a heads up in case I just can't deal.
I'll be thinking of you in the upcoming weeks. I think it's good that you told your boss. Did he act like he understood? Sometimes men don't get it. My mother in law just lost her mother, and after I talked to her on Mother's day I told my husband that she sounded good. It didn't occur to him that it would be a hard day for her.
Cory, My boss - who's a Motherless Son - was very understanding.
I do think it depends on the guy.
My Father, for instance, is a HUGE family man and is soooooooo sensitive. He cries at everything and hugs and kisses everyone. He'd definitely think of things like that.
I can't say the same for all of the guys in my life though!
You're lucky to have the two of them.
