Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 9. We hope it is a sweet and wonderful day for all the moms reading this, but we also know it can be a day filled with many different types of circumstances and feelings.
- If you are a mom who is looking forward to sweet times with your child(ren) this Mother’s Day, we are joyful with you.
- If you are a mom who is stressed about spending time with your children or who maybe doesn’t feel so mom-like at the moment, you have our support.
- If you are a mom who is tired and weary and in your heart of hearts you just want some time alone, we hope you find solitude.
- If you are a mom who will not be with your children on Mother’s Day, our hearts are with you in your loneliness and pain.
- If you are a birth mom who is especially missing your child on Mother’s Day, we virtually wrap our arms around you.
- If you are a grandparent or other family member raising children, who never quite thought you’d be doing this again, we appreciate you and have your back.
- If you are a mom whose child has died, we grieve with you and honor the memory of your child.
- If you are missing your own mom, we stand with you.
So to all the moms out there – we see you, we are here for you and we treasure you. Mother’s Day can be a sweet day and we hope yours is, but it is just one day. Please know you are appreciated by us every day.
