No, I
don't really believe that Happy Mother's Day is an oxymoron because it gives me
a chance to remember what a wonderful mother (and mother-in-law) God blessed me
with in this life. But I also wouldn't
call it the most happy of holidays for those of us having a hard time becoming
a mom. Rewind back a year and a half ago...this
was supposed to be my first official Mother's Day. I should be celebrating as a mom with an 8 1/2
month old baby in my arms. And last year
I would have celebrated as a mom-to-be knowing that a beautiful baby was
growing inside me and getting ready to meet the rest of the world. But, sadly, I miscarried my first baby and I
have met Mother's Day both last year and this year with a little heartbrokenness. I can honestly say that I didn't expect to
meet this holiday again without either being pregnant or having a baby in my
arms, but that is the path my life has taken and I am holding on to hope that
my time will come. But until then, this
holiday is just another reminder of the fertility failures so far for myself
and for those that are traveling a similar road to mine. Today my prayers are full for the women who
have a hard time saying "Happy Mother's Day"...know that I and others
are right there with you.
