I will wake tomorrow morning, my first Mother's Day, as the mother of three children and yet the world can only see two. I would have been 25 weeks, growing bigger with each passing day but I'm not. Instead Annabelle arrived on April 4 and now I am a mother with an angel baby.
Unless you know me you will never know. You will only see what is in the moment. You will not know my story. You will not see us as a family of five, but we are. You will not realise that there should be an extra car seat in the back of my car or that only two months ago I felt the flutter of my daughter's first kick. You do not know that the only item I ever got to buy my little girl was the blanket she was wrapped in for her cremation.
As I know you will not see my entire story, I will not judge you. I will understand if your words do more harm then good for me. I know you don't and that is okay. As we do not walk around with our stories on display please remember that any woman you meet could be a mother, even if you do not 'see' her children. Our babies our forever in our hearts and never forgotten.
It is with a grieving yet compassionate heart that I would like to wish every mother a Happy Mothers Day for 2014. May all of your children know how truly blessed they are to have you as their Mum and may the world see you for the strong and amazing woman you are.
