Mother's Day is a plus and a minus for me. A plus because my beautiful daughter who is a blessing each and every day always remembers to offer encouragement throughout the year and on this day. A minus because I know there are children in heaven (two) whom I miss and never got to see grow up.
Because I believe God is exactly who He says He is, my children in heaven are loved, safe and better with him than with me. But, the daughter I buried just before her fifth birthday and the child I never knew (due to a miscarriage), still linger within my heart and soul.
There are times when I miss my eldest child more than I can explain although it's been almost 20 years since she died. There are similar moments of wonder and imagination about the miscarried child. What would they have been like? Was it a boy or a girl? I miss what might have been.
However, when things are right with the world and I am centered in my belief, I know God is a much better mommy than I'll ever be. His heaven will always be a better home than mine. My children are safe, loved and I will see them again. I miss them, yet I know.
Mother's Day - an interesting time of year for me and many other women.
