Mother's Day

What a wonderful opportunity to show love to and thank those who are mothers & those who mother.

I try to contact all of my sisters (in-law included) to either wish them a happy mother's day as a mother or as a sister who desires to become a mother.  No one did that for me during my infertile years.  Sure, it was a touchy subject, but it's better to mention the giant elephant in the room kindly than to ignore it all together. Here on the other side of things, I know better.  I understand not wanting to hurt feelings, and if you don't know what to say or how to say it, it's better left unsaid. 

On Mother's Day I am especially grateful for those women who raised myself & my husband.  They are true women of faith & are my heros.

But I think on Mother's Day of recent I am most grateful to my Mr P, who made me a mother, & my little ones.
