Mother's Day

So today was Mother's Day. This morning, I didn't think I could get through the day...
It was so hard wishing Happy Mothers Days to everyone else, but never getting to hear it myself...
Yes, I know that I am no longer pregnant, and yes, I know I am not a mother to a child here on Earth, but I strongly believe that I am still a mommy to a baby in Heaven.

I guess I endured the day by focusing on the wonderful mothers Ben and I have. My own mother is such a wonderful woman and has give everything for her children and shown us an amazing amount of unconditional love. My mother in law is one of the strongest women I know and more than I could ever have hoped for in a mother-in-law and I am truly blessed and proud to be a part of her family! I love both of them dearly, and that is literally what got me through the day.

I am adding a link to an article posted on my What to Expect message boards. The woman who posted it called it an "Article for Mothers Without Babies."

I truly believe that Ben and I became parents the day our baby was conceived. But now Jesus is taking care of our little baby until we are able to hold him or her in our arms one day. I wish more than anything that we were the ones to hold our baby right now, but what better place for our little baby to be than in the arms of Jesus - the ultimate parent of unconditional love!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to ALL mothers our there - once a mother, always a mother, whether on this Earth or in Heaven!
