Today, I texted everyone in my phone to remind them mother's day is tomorrow. Everyone including the boy whose mom died last year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML
Today, I was once again sent tons of Mother's Day cards in the mail, even though my son died years ago and I've told people that I'm not a mother anymore. FML
Today, it was Mother’s Day. My mom died when I was young, so I deleted all of my social media, to avoiding seeing all my friends hanging out with their aging, but healthy, loving mothers. Then my dad decided to remind me what day it was and to wish my abusive stepmom a happy Mother’s Day. FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Today, my mom wished her best friend a Happy Birthday on Facebook. Her best friend died this year. Oh, did I mention that it’s also my birthday? FML
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, I finally taught my mom how to text message people. Now I get a message from her every 30 seconds saying "Hi". FML
Today, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why did you text everyone? I would be annoyed if I got that as a text. By the way, no one cares you were first, #1. So STFU.

Why the hell would you text everyone in your phone to remind them that Mother's Day is tomorrow?

Aw, that sucks. Two of my good friends' moms died this past year. It's always hard to remember. Try not to beat yourself up about it too much, it happens. :)

It's really okay. My mother passed away last year as well, yet I was countlessly reminded by everyone that it was mother's day. It's bound to happen, when you lose a close family member like that you just learn to deal with that kind of stuff because there is always going to be something reminding you about it. As long as it was in good intentions I wouldn't sweat it.

So you assume your friends all live under a rock? I ask because I've been busy traveling the last couple weeks, have no English-langauge TV in my hotel when I even have time to check, and even I knew it was Mother's Day yesterday.

i cant stand it when people think they are so smart that they have to remind people of upcoming holidays like no one else knows.

how do all of you people know that the text said "just a reminder: mothers day is tomorrow!" it could have just said "happy mothers day!" its still a reminder, and a nice gesture, you people need to chill. im sure that the boy will understand.

At least the OP didn't text Jade Goody's kids; she died on Mother's Day (keeping in mind that Mother's Day falls in March in the UK).

I would say FYL but obviously you don't have a life seeing that you had nothing better to do but tell everybody on your phone that it was the eve of Mother's Day. Instead f the lives of the people who gave you their number.

You guys are lovely. I can't wait for you to forget your friend's birthday and to be reminded of it by a text message.
