I keep feeling like today will get better and it won’t. This is the first year that I haven’t spent mother’s day with my mom so it’s hard. Throw on top of that the fact that my boyfriend’s brother passed away this morning, it just gets tougher. He’s inconsolable and I can’t do a thing about it because he is exactly 1,072 miles away. That’s 1,072 minutes away, if I went 60 the whole time. I can’t be there for him or for his family, who are all amazing people. They shouldn’t have to deal with this on Mother’s Day and his dad’s birthday. I just feel so lost with what to do and what to say to him. I’ve made him even more upset without even meaning to. I feel like such a failure today because I can’t do one little thing he asks. Today will just be a hard day and I’ll have to deal but it’s hard when all you want to do is hold him close and tell him that everything will be ok.
