Mother’s Day |
By Judy A. Sittner |
Another Mother’s Day!
But a different one this year. For you see, I am a mother, but my child isn’t here. I am a mother who is hurting for this child who was dear, as I face this and other occasions, each and every year. I am a mother who feels emptiness over and over again, because I miss THIS child and all that could have been. I am a mother who cared as I watched my child grow, and truly loved her more than anyone will ever know. I am a mother who is thankful for the miracle of birth and all my child has taught me about life and my own self-worth. I just can’t stop being a mother just because my child isn’t here, because the love we had for each other will continue for years and years. And so… On this special “Mother’s” day, I will feel within my heart all the pride, love and joy which are the parts that make me who I am, and what I’ll always be- A MOTHER just remember that… please!?! |
