You want my take on Mother's Day?

I have been thinking about this day.

Hopeing it would just disappear.

My Birthday is this Friday.

then...

it is "Mother's Day"

It is interesting how perspective changes

right?

Last mother's day I wrote this.

YES.

I am grateful to be a Mother.

YES.

I am grateful for my wonderful Mother and Mother in law

YES.

I feel sorry for myself that Kaden was never physically in my arms on "Mother's Day"

YES.

I know I am eternally Kaden's mother.

BUT...

I can't help it.

this

Mother's Day

may

possibly

be

a

very

HARD

day.

{only because we focus so much on the here and now}

Yes that's right!

{PROPERTY OF MOM FOREVER}

This outfit was one of the first outfits he wore. [he was like 2-3lbs here.]

There are women this mother's day who hurt

they hurt because they lost

or

they have never had

or

they long to have

a child.

Keep these women in your prayers.

and...

this mother's day for me

will you squeeze them extra tight!?

I will celebrate being a Mother

but...

I feel a little gipped.

robbed of his physical presence in this life.

I know I will have him again.

in the meantime

all

I can do

is try to come closer to our Heavenly Father

that is the best

thing

I can do for my son.

"Motherhood is a great blessing—

a blessing so valuable that it goes beyond this life and on into the eternities."
{I got this from my friend Jess blog---thanks}

NOW THAT IS WHY I CAN BE HAPPY AND GRATEFUL
happy mother's day!
