It’s the day after. I won’t lie. It’s just a HARD DAY! I’m so sad. And yet I still have two children and two -non-blood children (my children by marriage), whom I love more than life itself. But nothing changes the fact that my own Momma went to her heavenly home over 20 years ago, and this is the 10th year I will spend a Mother’s Day without my firstborn.
It’s hard, because I’m so thankful to have been called to be a mother at all. I’m so thankful that God chose me to be their Mom. I don’t want to be sad. But I am. I will always miss my child. My Kyle. He was never easy. He was so unique. I had him when I was still a baby myself. And he was and will always be the gift that made me a Momma. He was everything I ever thought a child should be. And my Momma, Nana as he called her, thought he hung the moon! It does bring me comfort to know they are together. They both died so young. But the two of them had a bond like no other. From the day he was born, she was in complete bliss. The day she died, he was so young, yet inconsolable. He missed her.
And today, like every other day, I miss them more than any words could ever describe. I’m just thankful they are now both pain free and never having to endure the pain this life faces us here on earth.
If you have your Mother, make sure she knows you love and appreciate her. If you have the privilege of having all your children still with you, don’t take it for granted. Mother’s Day is a special day, but very hard if your missing your Momma or your child!
And I pray you all have had a wonderful Mother’s day celebrating the women that make this life we know better!
