Thank you Amy. It was only going to be a gift and a Mother's Day card signed with my name only, no "Love, ...." Nothing like that.
I was just thinking of being thoughtful on Mother's Day. That's just me. But, I don't want to throw my DBing efforts under the bus. Had I planned on doing what you indicated, I most certainly would have gotten that reaction from her. Certainly NOT my intention. Thank you for your perspective from the outside looking in, my angel.
So, forget the gift and card regarless of how non-mushy it will be? Damn, I hate what I have created. I've made it exceedingly difficult because I cannot just be my normal self. Oh, well, I blew the holes in the bottom of my boat, I need to make the best of it. Sad.
Amy, any thoughts on the rest of my post and my interactions with my S? Just keep on keepin' on? Probably. I am suffering from sadness and impatience and I know impatience will kill my DBing efforts.
I do regularly inflate my PMA by always keeping in mind:
