Happy Mother's Day

I've been working on this one for a while.  I'm not the best writer, so I sometimes worry that what I really have on my heart isn't expressed quite in the way that I would like.  I almost didn't post this because of that reason, but there are many ladies feeling their heart break and the tears in their eyes as those "Happy Mother's Day" songs and ads cross their path. Those ladies need to know their worth as a mother.

Happy Mothers Day to the mothers that...
are pregnant with their first
have a bright eyed child wrapped in their arms
are experiencing that empty nest
are suffering the pain of a miscarriage
lost their baby all too soon
face the "not pregnant" month after month
endure the fertility drugs, shots, and treatments
unselfishly gave your child up for adoption
adopted the orphan

There are so many different paths to motherhood.  None of them are greater than the other. Your love, sacrifice, and dedication should be celebrated. You all are mothers.
Happy Mother's Day!
