Tomorrow is Mother's Day. I'm not sure how I feel about this day. It's a day set aside for mother's. Brent is being really sweet--- he's done his secret shopping and I know he's setting us up the perfect day tomorrow. He asked me what I wanted to do, and I want to do all of Kailee's favorite things--- drinking orange juice and eating cinnamon teddy grahams. I want to go to the cemetary and say hello. I want to kiss her little hand and foot molds and hug her little monkey blanket.
Not everyone sees me as a mother. A mother is supposed to have a baby or a child, right? WRONG! You can't tell a mother by just looking at her. A mother is a feeling in your heart. A mother is someone who has been pregnant and loved a child from that moment of seeing a positive pregnancy test. A woman becomes a mother the first moment that she sees those two lines whether or not a baby comes. Some of you reading this have friends who do not have children here on this earth---- their babies have gone to heaven. PLEASE, PLEASE don't discount them as mothers! Just because we haven't gotten to experience late night feedings or projectile vomiting doesn't mean we don't fit in that category. We have buried our babies---- something that, THANKFULLY, most mothers will never have to do.
So on this Mother's Day, please remember ALL the momma's out there--- with or without earthly children.
