My Mother's Day
On Mother's Day I miss my son.
Yet I look up into the sky and feel him smiling down on me.
On Mother's Day other mothers are accepting handmade gifts from their children
When I bask in the glow of my son's bravery.
On Mother's Day some mothers are having breakfast in bed.
I wake up next to my husband who thinks I am the best mommy ever!
On Mother's Day I miss having the duties of a mommy.
Yet my duty is to spread his story and his inspiration every chance I get.
On Mother's Day I wonder what he'd be doing now.
But when I think about my role in my son's life I know he's proud of me.
On Mother's Day most mothers get to snuggle their children.
On that day I know that my child is always in my heart and is always watching over me.
On Mother's Day mommies look forward to being honored.
I dread it but also enjoy it thru Christine, Jenny, Nate and Casey and all my grandchildren!
On Mother's Day a lot of mommies spend time with their loved ones.
My time is spent with close loved ones who call me mommy or grandma.
On Mother's Day many moms look forward to watching their kids grow and thrive.
I look forward to seeing how my son's life will help others if not myself.
On Mother's Day there are moms who carry a strong load yet revel in it.
Losing my son is a strong load yet a labor of love, I carry it with pride.
On Mother's day I know that I am blessed with my Husband, children and grandchildren but I also;
feel blessed and looked after everyday by my guardian angel, my son.
On Mother's Day some mothers wish they could be with their lost son.
I do too, yet his life in Heaven is much better than what he would live on Earth.
On Mother's Day most moms are crying tears of happiness at their accomplishments as a mom.
I cry tears of loss yet the same tears of pride, the same tears of those moms, in a different capacity.
Matthew I miss you very much. I know and feel you around me every day! I know that you are looking after Chrissy, Jenny, Natie and Casey and especially your son! I dream about you and sense your presence all the time! I love and miss you very much!
