Buddies,
I wish each of you wonderful women a peaceful and hopeful Mother's Day this year. It is hard to imagine celebrating when we are missing our babies so much, but please treat yourselves like the queen that your child or children would have seen you as if they had stayed around. You deserve to be treated as the special mother that you are, even if you are the only one who will do the treating. Give yourself your heart's desire on this special Sunday, because your baby or babies would do it if they could.
Love and Hugs to All,
Sheri

Thanks Sheri. I know that Gabriel would have spoiled me because I would have spoiled HIM. It's bittersweet, but I am going to sincerely TRY to remember how much joy he brought me, instead of the pain.

Thanks, Sheri - you made me cry! I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day, with more joy than pain.

April, your comment about "remembering the joy not the pain" really struck a chord with me. I was only pregnant for a little over 5 weeks, but this baby was so wanted and so completely loved from the time we found out that just remembering how excited we were sort of overrides the sorrow even for a brief moment. Thankyou.

I'm afraid that it's usually easier said than done. I wrote a letter to Gabriel, describing all of the joy he brought to me. It really helped me, but I was, of course, sobbing all the way through it.

I'm afraid to go back and look at the Rivi diary I kept right after he died. I've come so far since then, and I'm afraid looking at my grief written down would drag me back down. Someday, though, I'll be glad to have that.
I'm so glad you wrote Gabriel a letter, Adrianne.

For me, it's comforting to look at the old stuff. It shows me just how far I've come and that I AM getting better. Because sometimes I feel like I haven't made any progress at all. We all deal with it differently.
I just would like to give you all a cyber hug!
(((((((HUGS)))))))))
You are all very special mommies. I hope your day goes well for each and every one of you!!
You are by far some of the strongest women I have ever *known*. It brings a small smile to my face when I read about how far you have all come in your grief. I cry with you all in your pain. I try to think of each of you every day.
You are all very special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pam
You all have more strength, courage, and resolve than I could ever even imagine having. My hats off to each and every one of you -- You deserve this day! May it be filled with peace and happiness.
Your Special Day
