Mother’s Day is just around the corner.
It feels like an impossible day.
There’s no fair way for this day to happen.
I genuinely want to celebrate my mom, the most amazing mom who stood by me when I decided to adopt a special needs child, and then a second. She taught me how to be a mom, has walked this most horrible of journeys with me, and I owe my life to her.
I genuinely want to celebrate my mom who has been the most selfless, loving grandmother to my boys. A woman who just agreed to love anyone I bring into her world.
I want to celebrate my sister and the amazing mom and sister she is.
I want to celebrate being the lucky mom of my son Travis, one of the most kind, compassionate and helpful kids in the world. I don’t know where I would be right now if not for him.
And I somehow want to do it all from an alternate world where my baby isn’t gone.
How do I do Mother’s Day without the baby who first made me a mom?
