Happy Day

Today I wish my Grandmother a Happy Mother's Day.

But I'm sad that my other Grama is no longer here to celebrate with me.

Today I say "Happy Mother's Day" to my Mom. My mother-in-law.

And remember that many people can't say those words to someone who is no longer here.

I wish our son's birthmother a happy day today. And his birth grandmother too.

And know that there are many birthmothers and their famlies who are filled with mixed emotions today.

I thank the Lord for the two (and a half) beautiful children he has given me.

And remember the ten years that I waited (not so) patiently for the family I had dreamed of.

I think of families celebrating. Families grieving.

Couples healing. Couples hurting.

A happy day. A prayer filled day.

A day of hope.

Here are some links to some sites that I hope minister to you as they did to me:

• Infertility Grief
• Being a Mom After Infertility
• A Mother's Day Letter (for the waiting)
