Today I was brought to tears at the sudden realization of this being a dear friend’s first Mother’s Day without his mother.  I was also reminded of several mothers I know who are enduring this weekend for the very first time without their precious children.  It was a reality check of just how difficult a day this can be and how many are simply waiting for this weekend to be over.

To those who no longer have your mother here on earth; To those who never really had a mother who cared or stayed around; To those who want nothing more than to be a mother, but are struggling with infertility or have suffered miscarriages; To those who have endured the unimaginable loss of a child; To those who don’t understand why you’re still single when you want nothing more than a family…

You are NOT forgotten.

“See, I have engraved you on the palms of My Hands; your walls are ever before Me.”- Isaiah 49:16
