With Mother’s Day coming up tomorrow, I’m
preparing myself for a hard day, a day that I’ll want to shy away from Facebook
or Google and just spend time reflecting. The loss of our only child has
forever changed the way I think and feel about Mother’s Day, this holiday is a
yearly reminder that I too SHOULD be celebrating this day…
This weekend, we’re planning to have a pretty
relaxing few days, not make a big fuss about tomorrow and just have time to
ourselves. We’re not stationed around any family so won’t have any Mother’s Day
parties or functions to be expected to show up for.
Mother’s Day is typically a very hard day for me,
a day that I think more about the fact that I should be celebrating this day
with my daughter, not grieving her loss. This year is no different, but at
least we do have our adoption plans in the works and can look forward to future
Mother’s Day holidays. I’ve joined my adoption friends as a “mommy to be,
whenever that may be.”
