Since college years, I have not been able to be home much for Mother's Day and spend time with my own mommy. Skyping and calling helps to connect and celebrate the woman who made me who I am, but it still doesn't do a physical hug justice. I do miss you mom and I hope you had a wonderful, albeit busy and full of adventures, day celebrating you and moms everywhere.
My mommy, Kiki and Luciana, also a mommy. |
There are so many positive aspects of the day, but I do recognize that, for some, it's not a good day. There are those who didn't have a mother growing up, whether it be for financial, death, or emotional reasons, and it must be hard. I read an article about a young mother who lost her battle with cancer not too long ago and left her husband a widow with four children. My heartbreaks to think of the sadness that these family members must feel, knowing that the one person they celebrated with all these times, isn't there anymore. However, the husband has a beautiful message of moving on and celebrating the memories of the woman he loves. Please check out the article here.
I guess what I am trying to say is, please consider those who aren't emotionally ready to celebrate this day. I know I miss my Grandmothers each and every single day. For those of us who do have their mothers or a mother figure, take a moment and remember how blessed you are. Give your mom and grandmothers an extra hug and don't forget to tell them you love them and that they are beautiful.
