I know mother's day is long past. But I want to talk about this or get it out there. Idk.

I'm a single father now. And this mother's day was rough. I couldn't even look at the cards, without breaking, to get my own mother one. I posted a tribute to the great mother my Autumn was and got some friends wishing me happy mother's day . I didn't like that. Not because I'm just a father but because I cannot replace her. That was her holiday and I don't even compare to the mother she was. The idea hurt me and when my father told me that on a call I put my foot down. I said "please don't wish me a happy mother's day. It's her day not mine and she can't be replaced." It just didn't feel right. She can't be replaced.
