One day that you celebrate the important woman/mother/grandmother in your life. It can also be a day of pain as you long for the day when you can be celebrated. A day that makes you sad because you just want to be a mom. I remember this time one year ago and I remember giving my sister a little card to give her hope...someday you will be a mom. I remember Mother's Day not being as hard as Father's Day...because after all, I was the "issue" in the fertility puzzle so I always felt way worse for my husband then I did for myself!
What does a year bring? Me a mother, my sister a mother and today I anticipate Mother's Day with renewed hope, love for my son, excitement for my sister but I feel a great pain, a pain I didn't think I would feel. I think of "L" Bentley's birthmother and I am guessing this Mother's Day will be hard for her and my heart aches for her. We have an open relationship and we are actually sending her a package today to celebrate her! In our last visit we discovered a kind of candy she loves but has a hard time finding....so she is getting a case of it! We are also including a ton of pictures of Bentley for her but the thing I am most proud of and the thing I hope she loves is the gift of a blanket. It isn't any blanket...Cullen's mom made a blanket for her and she made a tiny matching one for Bentley. We are sending it with a note that reads: As the yarn in this blanket is entwined, you will forever be entwined in our hearts. I hope she enjoys cuddling with it...and we even let Bentley cuddle with it and took pictures to send to her...so she can see how he loved it too! (yes, it is pink, that is L's favorite color and who cares if B has a pink blanket..tough boys wear pink) :)
Here are a few pictures.
I only hope this care package gives her a smile and I know it won't make it better but I hope she knows how much we care for her and think that she is an amazing woman for what she has given us! We love you "L"!
