Happy Motherās Day to me!
Although itās no longer Motherās Day here in Bali, I canāt let your day go by without loving on you beautiful women.
As I celebrated my 15th Motherās Day without my baby boy, I couldnāt help but reflect on my life. Finding gratitude in a place where grief also exists.
Living without my son is like eating watermelon. (stay with me black people, I promise thereās a point lol.) Some days are bland and I enjoy very little of it. Itās not that it wasnāt good, itās just not as enjoyable as other days. Then there are days where I donāt want it to end because of how sweet is it. Either way, I am blessed to be here to enjoy it.
To my mothers of angels, as always, I see you. I AM you and weāre going to be just fine. Today is YOUR day, as it is anyone elseās. Whether you carried your child for a day or full term, you are still a mother in my eyes. Miscarriage, Stillborn, Eptopic pregnancy, ALL COUNT! Donāt let anyone tell you anything different.
To my mothers out there who have lost a child, maybe even your only child, I see you! I couldnāt begin to imagine what it wouldāve been like to enjoy my child for any amount of time. Whether an hour or 18 years or 34 years. I couldnāt imagine that pain, that kind of heartbreak. I love you all and you keep pushing.
To the mothers who are blessed to see and exist in the same world as their children, you are doing such a great fucking job. Donāt EVER let anyone tell you otherwise. This is the hardest job on this planet and no one gets it like you do. Treat yourself because you deserve. Say FTK for a hour and take a nap because you deserve. You are the sun and the moon and life is nothing without you. You ARE deserving. Great job mommy.
To the people out there missing their mommies. Whether itās the first mother days without her or the 10th, or the 20th, sheās always with you. They never leave your side. You continue to carry her in your heart, sheās right there.
Welp! Thatās about it. Thatās the post.
I love you all and thank you so much for making life a little more tolerable on the days that feel heavier than most. Iām so grateful to you all.
Okay bye! šš¾
