mums day....

geneva mums.
i want to celebrate all the moms out there who do such and amazing job
and work so hard for their families and their children and love
them with all of their hearts...
i celebrate our new mommas who have waited so long for this day...
i celebrate all kinds of moms ~ whether your mothering is in how you care for others,
or for your pets, your garden, strangers, nieces, nephews...
you are so needed and so valued and your role is an essential part of the healing our world needs.
but i also want to acknowledge that this weekend can be a painful one for so many.
for the ones who have been trying to conceive or adopt for so long.
for the ones who have lost a child.
for the ones who have lost their mom.
for the one whose mom is who ill.
for the one whose child is ill.
for the one who is trying to heal her relationship with their mom or their own children.
the for the moms who are going through a divorce and feel afraid of being a single mom.
for the dads who are trying so hard to manage both parental roles.
for the ones who have lost their wife and the mother of their children.
for me this weekend i will celebrate with all of you who are celebrating but
i will also be thinking of all the ones who are suffering as well.
