I love that you said ...Melanie, what a great post. I love that you said that it should be a holiday for people who are mothers in the hearts, not their hands. As a two dad household Mother's Day certainly poses some questions in my life too, although I understand it is for very different reasons. Your perspective makes the holiday so much more inclusive and I'll try to remember that for next year. Thank you. <br /><br />And as for Allie, you know I'm a big fan of you and your blog. I'll send you all the baby dust I have too. :-) Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218522899376081830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584286554723970667.post-8844910733867798682013-05-19T05:56:14.541-04:002013-05-19T05:56:14.541-04:00Good luck Allie.

You are every bit a mother as anyone else and I'm sending you belated Mother's Day love. Here is a post I wrote about it and you can find it on my blog too at http://angelheartsforever.blogspot.com/<br /><br />"Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are celebrating the day empty handed due to a loss or because your child has yet to make it to your arms. You are just as much a mother as the woman who has 12 kids tagging along after her. You are a mother in your heart, you go through the pain of treatments and negatives, but you are already a mother putting forth more as a mother to bring your children here, than so many others. Babyloss moms, you have endured the most tragic and important job a mother could ever do for her child. Sending them off from this life with love and honor and respect. Being strong and keeping their memory alive. Doing this while grieving and heartbroken in a society who minimizes the greatest effort a mother could possibly do.... letting go. It's a shame that Mother's Day is the way it is, alienating and separating women, rewarding some, degrading and ignoring others due to things they have no control over. If anything, Mother's Day should lift up those who are Mother's in their heart but not in their hands because ultimately, the mother's getting all the praise and fluff HAVE their greatest gift already, their children. And now that I have experienced Mother's Days as an infertile, a baby loss momma, and as a mother of living children, I can say that the difficulties of raising children-the exhaustion, the sacrifices, the worry, etc. is NOTHING compared to the lifelong grief I carry for the child who cannot be with me. Happy Mother's Day to you all.

I know how painful mother's day can be, and not many people can understand how much pain we have to endure inside of us on a commercialized holiday. I wish you the best of luck on this trip, sending you loads of baby dusts and positive vibes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477224515414167698noreply@blogger.com
