Today’s a new day! On this Sunday in May we take the time to celebrate all the mom’s out there. I want to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers. But among all the celebrations, let us not forget today can be a really hard day for many.
For those who have lost their moms…
For those who have absent or broken relationships with their moms…
For those who have lost babies or children…
For those facing infertility issues…
For those going through the long adoption process…
Also, let’s not forget the following group of amazing women:
Those that have chosen to be fur baby moms…
Those that have been blessed with the title of aunt or god-mother…
Those that have decided not to have children.
Let me just say to all of the amazing women out there, you are loved and valued by the community around you, regardless of your current motherhood status.
I personally believe on this day that we celebrate all the beautiful mothers out there, we can also remember to hold a special space for those who find this day hard for various reasons as well.
And I believe there is a way to widen our definition of a ‘mother’ to make this day more expansive and inclusive too.
I have been personally blessed to have a great mom and to be part of a whole family full of beautiful strong women, but I’ve also been equally blessed by so many other women in my life who I am not personally related to.
My friend’s mom’s, teachers, spiritual moms, mentors and friends to name just a few.
I am truly grateful for all the women who have made a huge difference in my life over the years. So on this Mother’s Day, let’s remember that there is more than one way for women to be a “mom” to someone in this world. Happy Mother’s Day! ~OC
