Mother and childMothering Sunday has always been one of the hardest day in the year for me. Trying to get pregnant for a long time takes all the joy out of it and Mothering Sunday was the worst. All those reminders of how wonderful children are and the fact that they are a gift from God. I actively avoided going to church on Mother's Day for it was just too painful. Of course this year things are so different. All of those things that made me feel like I had failed are now reversed. This year I truly feel blessed, and yet those feelings are also tempered with sadness for those people who I became friendly with whilst trying to conceive who have yet to be successful. I know that Mothering Sunday brings a terrible sense of loneliness and disappointment for some people. Today I will think about them and hold them in my prayers and hope and pray that they will also have the opportunity to feel as I do. I am grateful, so very grateful for my wonderful husband a gorgeous son. I will never, ever take that for granted and I will appreciate all that I have.
