 I Have to Believe this Mother's Day...and My Hope is for You to Believe too...

In honor of our Mothers

Many friends of mine will be celebrating their Moms on Mother's day, alone.   For many it won't be the first time.  That special day to honor our mothers, and a painful one for many.   Memories flood back in waves, tears begin to flow.   Some may pick up the phone, and gently put it back down; desperately wishing they can hear the sound...of her voice one more time.   This year has been an eye opener for me as I watched an old friend lose her son to cancer.   Day after day, all who knew her prayed for a miracle...that God may let her keep her little boy!    We witnessed her strength and are still amazed by her grace.  We prayed so hard; he was taken anyway.   She has walked through the fire and kept a smile on her face.   It hit me then, as it does right now, this cannot be true.   A mother and child are connected in an eternal way.   I refuse to believe "nothing gold can stay".   If a mother loses her child, they cannot be gone...they are simply in another place, waiting for her to come along.   Watching from above and lifting her up with their wings...I must have faith in these things.  As a mother myself, incapable of believing one day my girls will be without me... Or, I them.

 



 

 "Dr. Chopra rhapsodizes about the start of the amazing journey that is the relationship between a parent and a child: "A single-cell embryo divides only fifty times to become one hundred trillion cells, which is more than all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy." Once your baby is born, all the cells in both of your bodies act in secret synchronicity to create those simple but incredible connections between the two of you."

Most recently, very recently, a mother was taken from her sons.   So unbelievably tragic, so innocently young.   I will not accept she has been taken from them.   I cannot!   It doesn't make any sense.   They have to be a part of her and she has to always be a part of them.   So I write this on the Eve of Mother's Day, in the hope and belief we will all be together again someday.   My mother is here, with me and I can't imagine the pain.   And, I have to tell you the thought of ever leaving my girls drives me insane!    Life is too short, and time is too precious.   Don't waste a minute on anger or hesitate for a second...to say "I love you".   If, by chance, that time was stolen from you...Join me in believing she is always with you!!!  She has to be...

A Poem to my Daughters, and My Mother...

 

 

 

 

 

I will never leave you...

Nor you me.

For God made us

One before we lived separately.

Those months

We shared one body

One soul...

We can never be half...

Only together we are whole.

 

I will never leave you

Its simple and true.

God made me in order

To make you.

Do not cry when we seem apart

Just listen to the beating

Of my heart.

If you cannot hear it like you did

In my womb...

Put your hand over your heart

That's where you'll hear my tune.

Wherever you are

There I am too.

We are never apart...I'm always

With you!

"The bond between a mother and her child has been recognized and celebrated as uniquely powerful for countless millennia.   Today, we have new insights into just how this extraordinary relationship is mediated through blood and hormones, milk and antibodies, smiles and tears, and much more that we are just beginning to understand.   Unraveling the science of the mother/infant bond, from the beginnings in the womb to the first steps and words in early childhood, deepens our appreciation of this powerful bond.   Just as understanding the physics of a rainbow or the engineering of an orchid, it deepens our awe of the natural world."
