Thoughts on Mother's Day

This year Mother's Day was different because a special little someone was missing.  It's difficult knowing you have a child across the world and you're waiting to wrap your arms around him, scoop him up, and bring him home. Waiting is hard…..


  ….Then I think about Gabriel's birth mother and my heart breaks for her.  I think about how empty Mother's Day must have been for her and the grief she must feel.  There is no doubt in my mind that she loved him,  she left him in a place where she knew he would be found quickly and taken care of.  She loved him for almost a year before she made that decision.  There are no words to describe the pain she must of felt in that moment.  I'm sure she didn't know what else to do and hoped he would have a better life if she could just let go.  I can't imagine the weight of having to make a decision like that.  So, I pray for her, I pray that she would have peace in her heart and I pray that she would somehow know her baby boy will be loved forever.  Waiting is hard, but at least I know he will eventually be in my arms.  For Gabriel's birth mother,  she has to live knowing he will never be in her arms again….and that's hard for her.  Let's pray for the birth mothers ( and fathers ).
