As Mother’s Day approaches across parts of the world, for those who dread the day…
MOTHER’S DAY WITHOUT HER
For many, Mother’s Day is one to be avoided, to dread, to rage at.
But consider this.
If you have a mother in heaven, who you miss so much that this day burns like fire, then you have been blessed.
So many do not know this.
So many do not understand a love so deeply bonding, that the grief is beyond comprehension.
And consider this also.
If your mother is no longer with you on this mortal coil, do not, for a moment, believe that she is gone.
That you are without her.
For that is not possible.
She beats with your every heartbeat.
She breathes with your every gasp.
She is coded into your every cell.
That cannot be undone.
Perhaps, perhaps, you could begin to celebrate, on Mother’s Day, and every day, that you were gifted a mother like yours.
And instead of avoiding this day, perhaps, perhaps, you could embrace it again and invite her to be with you, again.
Remembering, as you did on earth, how blessed you were.
Perhaps, perhaps, this day could become a sweet one once more, as you do all the things you know she loved on earth. For her.
For many, Mother’s Day is one to be avoided but I wonder if maybe that could change.
I wonder if she is waiting for that.
Perhaps she is waiting for that.
