Today I want to wish a happy Mothers Day to what I call the "invisible" moms...the moms that aren't always remembered by our society on Mothers Day. We are getting better about recognizing these moms, but on days like today we can start to feel invisible. Happy Mothers Day to the moms who have no babies to hold...those who carried babies within for a day or weeks or months...those who gave birth to babies and nurtured them for days, months, or years but then had to let them go...those who yearn for a baby but have not been blessed with one...
Then there are the "non-traditional" moms. These people became moms without physically giving birth...stepmothers...grandmothers/aunts/siblings/dads/friends who have taken in kids to raise and nurture...moms of fur babies...mentors (like my favorite "work moms")...and anyone else who stepped up to the role of mom.
So many people can fill the role of mom. I hope that all of these moms are feeling the love on this Mother's Day. No matter how you become a mom or who you mother, you are important!!
