Happy Mother's Day, Mom

May 10, 2014
Happy Mother's Day to my Mom. I miss you every day. My heart hurts and my soul cries out to you. I have imagined my own children feeling this sorrow and that is when I remember that you would want me to love with abandon, laugh often, live life with the curiosity and wonder of a child, give the gift of and to myself by helping others, dance like no one is watching. Thank you for your love when I didn't deserve it. Thank you for being there anytime I fell. Thank you. I carry your heart. 

Happy Mother's Day to those blessed with a mother who is their best friend who they look to for comfort, advice, support, laughter, and love.

Happy Mother's Day to those who have buried their mother and would give anything to spend one more moment with her.

Happy Mother's Day to the single mother who works so hard to give her children everything, often forgetting to look after herself.

Happy Mother's Day to those estranged from their children. May you forgive yourself and them.

Happy Mother's Day to those who have buried their child and face an unbearable emptiness every day.

Happy Mother's Day to those who don't know where their children are and live every day with dread and hope.

Happy Mother's Day to those who want to be mothers and are not able to experience the joy.

Happy Mother's Day to those who waited too long to make peace with their mother and now it is too late. Forgive yourself. She already had.

Happy Mother's Day to those who choose to love and raise another woman's child as her own.

Happy Mother's Day to those who were abandoned by their mother.

Happy Mother's Day to those with mothers who were (or are) distant and selfish and have never felt a mothers love.
Happy Mother's Day to those who realize they messed up and the guilt is overwhelming and they wish they could go back and fix things but don't know how. Every day they look for an opening.

Happy Mother's Day to those whose mothers are sick and don't remember who you are.

Happy Mother's Day to those who give the gift of a child to someone who can't carry their own.

Happy Mother's Day to those whose children have abandoned them, leaving them to wonder if things could have been different.

Happy Mother's Day to those who give up their child so that he or she can have a better life.


May this day bring you peace, love, forgiveness, joy.
