To anyone who has lost a child

To anyone who has wanted a child and, for whatever reason, has not been able to have one

To anyone who has lost a mother

To anyone who is estranged ... from a mother, from a child, or a loved one.

For anyone who is hurting - for any reason - on this day.

Today is a hard day for some people. Let us circle them with our love and let them know they are not forgotten.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply, Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God

Thank you, Lord, for the lightness of my burdens

Thanks, Whitewolf.

I read this at church this morning. It was shared in a parenting after infertility group that I'm a part of and I thought it was beautiful.

I practiced it all week, but still broke down at the part about mothers who gave up a child for adoption.

The wide spectrum of mothering

To those who gave birth this year to their first child—we celebrate with you

To those who lost a child this year – we mourn with you

To those who are in the trenches with little ones every day and wear the badge of food

stains – we appreciate you

To those who experienced loss through miscarriage, failed adoptions, or running away—we

mourn with you

To those who walk the hard path of infertility, fraught with pokes, prods, tears, and

disappointment – we walk with you. Forgive us when we say foolish things. We don’t

mean to make this harder than it is

To those who are foster moms, mentor moms, and spiritual moms – we need you

To those who have warm and close relationships with your children – we celebrate with you

To those who have disappointment, heart ache, and distance with your children – we sit

with you

To those who lost their mothers this year – we grieve with you

To those who experienced abuse at the hands of your own mother – we acknowledge your

experience

To those who lived through driving tests, medical tests, and the overall testing of

motherhood – we are better for having you in our midst

To those who have aborted children - we remember them and you on this day

To those who are single and long to be married and mothering your own children - we mourn

that life has not turned out the way you longed for it to be

To those who step-parent - we walk with you on these complex paths

To those who envisioned lavishing love on grandchildren, yet that dream is not to be - we

grieve with you

To those who will have emptier nests in the upcoming year – we grieve and rejoice with you

To those who placed children up for adoption – we commend you for your selflessness and

remember how you hold that child in your heart

And to those who are pregnant with new life, both expected and surprising –we anticipate

with you

This Mother’s Day, we walk with you. Mothering is not for the faint of heart and we have

real warriors in our midst. We remember you.

brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you for the gentle reminder.

Thank you for this. My situation doesn't lend itself well to having a traditional "happy" Mother's Day, but I'm making the best of it.

In 2010 I divorced the NPD assclown who cheated on me with my best friend.
