This is guest post from Adrienne Schenck. She’s a woman of God who finds just the right words to capture all the big feelings. Her social media post resonated with my heart today. I think it will touch yours as well. Happy Mother’s Day.
Thinking today of the many facets of motherhood… there is a woman in the world right now who is planning to place her baby with us in 7 weeks.
The magnitude of that and how she might be feeling today is not lost on me.
The ones who have lost mothers, or wish desperately to be one, I think of you all and leave a space in my heart for your grief.
To my mama, who is still and will always be one of my favorite people on the planet, thanks for everything, especially teaching me to be strong, confident, and creative, because I’ve got girls to teach the same.
To my husband’s mom, I have no idea how you did it, but thank you. He’s probably the best husband and dad ever, but I may be a little biased.
Happy Mother’s Day to the tired, arms full mamas, to the mamas whose kids have flown the nest, and to the ones for whom Mother’s Day is a sad reminder. Love you all.
