There's no doubt that Mother's Day is a beautiful holiday and absolutely every mom deserves to have a special day all to themselves to be celebrated. However, aside from sharing a few small tokens of my day Sunday, I didn't spend much time scrolling my social media feed.
Mother's Day is a painful reminder that my mom is spending her special day in Heaven. Every mother standing proudly next to their high school or college graduate daughter is a reminder that she missed those milestones. Every blushing bride in her white wedding dress makes me think of how she won't be there for our wedding next year. Every 'three generation of women' photo makes my heart ache for my future children who will never know their wild and caring grandma.
I know there are more people out there like me who are longing for the mom who was taken too soon or even the child who never came or perhaps did but went to be with our maker. I know I'm not alone in my grief so for those of you going through this with me, I'm thinking about you. I'm sending you all the love, prayers and positivity.
I am very thankful for the women who helped raise me after she passed, but she will always be irreplaceable.
