Grown adults posting Mother’s Day messages on instagram - two of my friends have DM’s in their 90’s so they were never going to see what they put on their stories!!

Performative drivel

A friend of mine lost her daughter in tragic circumstances a few years ago. She always posts a happy heavenly birthday on Facebook. Daughters friends always comment as well. Maybe its a comfort to her, knowing she hasnt been forgotten. What's wrong with that?

I do the same for my twin babies who died 2 years ago. Not their photos but just a candle with their names. I always worry people will forget them. It's just my way of keeping their existance going I guess. There's nothing fun about going to a graveyard on mother's day as many people sadly know .
