first mother’s day

I have been dreading this day for weeks now.

A holiday I’ve longed to be a part of and celebrate as a mom myself. This year was finally my year and it just seems so unfair. A holiday I’ve been so excited for to be turned into a heart wrenching one.

This will probably be the only Mother’s Day I get with my Liam this side of heaven. Honestly, it sucks and it’s heartbreaking. There’s no sugar coating it. But, I am doing my best to try to choose joy. Because my baby boy will only know unconditional love. And because God for some reason chose me to carry the most precious one that is too good for this sinful world. If you ask me, I couldn’t ask for a more perfect baby to make me a mom.

I know there are so many others that struggle today too. My heart is with the mamas who are in similar situations or have lost a child in the past. I am just so sorry. Nothing can fix it, but I pray that you feel the Lord so near and comforting you every hard minute. Personally, I believe we’re the strongest mamas there are. We have to continue to fight for them and for our families. We were made for this and made to be mamas for these special ones. I celebrate us today. We are forever and always their mommy 🩵
