For many years, Mother’s Day was difficult for me. As we struggled with infertility it made me so sad to find my arms empty on this special day. I shed many, many tears on Mother’s Day. Fast forward twenty years and I have three wonderful children. I would not trade them for a dozen bio kids, but sometimes I still feel the sting of infertility. That’s a post for another day. But as you celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend, remember those who long to be mothers but who will spend this day only dreaming of what might be. If you know someone walking this difficult road, give them an extra hug. Send them a bunch of flowers. Pray for them.
Oh, yeah! And oh, yeah on that “other post”…still feel it.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day.
My heart goes out to those women who, for whatever reason, face that disappointment of “the negative test”. Thank you for the reminder to pray for those precious ladies and to reach out. I am going to do just that!
Thinking of you sweet friend! Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks for sharing your feelings Liz. I do know a few women who are struggling with empty arms today. However some of them refuse to even think of adoption. I wish they could know just how blessed they could be, by opening their hearts to some little person who needs a mama! I’m glad that today you have 3 beautiful children to wish you a wonderful Mothers’ Day!
