Friday night Jadeyn had a sleepover with me and we spent time on Saturday playing on the computer, making crafts, & playing Barbies.
This morning I received two wonderful texts. One from Sammie and one from Ashley both wishing me a Happy Mother's Day!. I'm very thankful for Sammie and it made me feel wonderful that she remembered me this year. It was also very sweet of her friend Ashely to remember me. Stacie called and wished me a Happy Mother's day. It's nice to know that even though I'm not anyone's "real" mother that they still think of me on Mother's Day. Jon, Mikelle, and I all went out to Breakfast with Mom for mother's day. Jon and Mikelle gave me a wonderful Mother's day card.
Even though I received Mother's Day wishes it's still the hardest day of the year for me. It was wonderful of everyone to think of me, but they're all spending today with their "real" Mothers and not me and it hurts. I've wanted nothing more my entire life than to be able to have children and that just didn't work out for me. I'm very thankful for Sammie and Stacie being in my life, but it still really hurts that I don't have any children of my own. I hope every mother out there realizes what a blessing it is that they have kids and to never take them for granted.
Val, I understand totally how you feel. Dale and I went for some time without children and it was very, very difficult to handle Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a beautiful young lady and are serving so many people. You don't have to have your own kids to be a Mom!
Val, I know so well the pain you feel every Mother's day; and I'm so sorry I never thought about it before.
ReplyDeleteBefore we were able to adopt Monica I just couldn't face Mother's Day. It was so very hard. Just know, Val, that you are a very special wonderful person and you are a Mom to so many people. You don't have to "bear" children to be a Mom.
Love you
