Last night I had a melt down. It has been a little while since the tears fell so heavily. I can't believe how much of an emotional mess the arrival of Mothers Day is making. Though it hurt last year, I remember feeling so much more numb to the festivities happening out in the world...but this year I haven't managed to numb myself. I typically try not to focus on everything I am missing out on with Gabriel, but yesterday was just brutal and raw! While shopping with my sisters for our Mothers Day gifts for our mom, I attempted to find a card to recognize the role of grandmother for my mom. Of course nothing fit for our unique situation! There are cards for everyone! The adoptive mom, the mom of pets, the expectant mom, the grandmom, the great grandmom, the stepmother, the aunt that is like a mom...but hallmark has left out a very large group of moms, the bereaved moms!! I know I said this the other day, but what about us? Is it truly that hard for the writers of hallmark to come up with a beautiful message that can simply recognize that we are moms too?
