Happy Mother's Day!
Today we honor motherhood and all it stands for — nurturing, femininity, triumph, loss, sacrifice.
To those who are in the thick of raising little ones, those battling the hormones and coming of age with teenagers, and those learning to walk along side their adult children, you are an amazing mama.
Mother’s Day is a time to recognize the woman or women’s footsteps you’ve been given to follow.
And for those of you that may have a harder time on this holiday...
Maybe you were a mother for eight weeks before the doctor told you otherwise: You are Mama, too.
Maybe you fostered and lost a child or two and continue to step in to accept, or you’ve taken a step back to heal: You are Mama, too.
And maybe you’ve been faced with unanswered longing and waiting; month after month wondering when your turn will come: In all your waiting, in all your hope, though maybe deferred, you are Mama, too.
Maybe you’re mentoring and mazing through your teenage years as a teacher, a sister, an aunt or a friend. You’re filling a gap that was meant for someone like you and this holiday celebrates you, too.
And maybe you’re a daughter who has lost a dear mother or who grieves never knowing a good mom or a mom at all: This day is for you, too.
