On Mother's Day I miss my son.
Yet I look up into the sky and feel him smiling down on me.
On Mother's Day other mothers are accepting handmade gifts from their children
When I bask in the glow of my son's bravery.
On Mother's Day some mothers are having breakfast in bed.
I wake up next to my husband who thinks I am the best mommy ever!
On Mother's Day I miss having the duties of a mommy.
Yet my duty is to spread his story and his inspiration every chance I get.
Something I get asked often by those who are bereaved, like you, like me is "Where are my loved ones now?" "Are they safe?" "Are they happy?" "Will I see them again?"
I believe they are and you will, but what I believe doesn't matter, it's what you believe. It's your belief alone that ultimately is going to answer those questions for you.
