I hate that I even know that this holiday exists, much less that I can celebrate it. Holiday? Celebrate? Those two words can't even exist on the same plane as this day.
Real Mother's Day is coming up and it's something I don't even want to think about. I'm a mother, but I'm not a parent, not anymore. I was for all of twenty minutes, once upon a time. Where does that leave me?
I never realized that such a day exists. My condolences on a day of such sad remembrance.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you went on the vacation that you and your husband had planned and I think that the picture of writing Caleb's name and birthday in the sand was breathtaking. The ocean is wise and healing and I hope you found some moments of peace as well as some moments of genuine enjoyment while you were in Aruba.
It leaves you a Mommy...forever. And no one can take that away from you, if you don't let them.
