Well, here we are again. Mother's Day is just around the corner. This is always a bittersweet time for me. I get to celebrate the fact that I am a mother. On the other hand, your child should be here to celebrate with you. It's a difficult holiday to trudge through when all you see are pictures of women with their children wrapped in their arms, gifts that their children made at school and hear all about the wonderful things their children said to them. It's hard because our children will never do those things. We'll never have the joy of seeing their painted hand prints on a card for us... we'll never get to hear our children tell us that they love us... or have their arms wrapped around us. I think I'm ready to skip the weekend. I'm sure some of you feel the same way. It just brings a mix of crazy emotions. Joy, pride, sadness, pain... it really depends on who you are and where you are in your grief journey.
I just want to say Happy Mother's Day to any mommy. Whether your babies are in your arms or in heaven, you are a mother and you are amazing. Try to find joy in this fact and do something for yourself. If you want to avoid everyone, that's okay. Just try to do what is right for you and know that your babies are proud of you and they know how much you love them.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy having a day to celebrate everything you do for your family.
