Not all divorced women are Mothers. To those who are, whether it was by giving birth, adoption, step children or mothering those “four-legged” children, Mother’s Day is a day meant for you. It celebrates all the sacrifices you’ve made, all the love you’ve given. It’s one of my most favorite of days because it celebrates one of the things in my life that I think I did “the best”!
I have two sons, they are the highlights of my life. My marriage may have not turned out the way that I hoped and dreamed it would, but those two boys did and then some. Yup – I did that right.
So as I was walking the dogs on one of the last pleasant weather days before the HOT summer sets in, I was enjoying my “Motherhood” experience. Thinking about how cute they were as babies, how active they were as toddlers, how sometimes scattered they were in school, how focused they were in college, and how successful they have become as young adults. Then it dawned on me . . . without the “spouse”, these boys would not have happened.
So for Mother’s Day 2012, I’ll be grateful for the marriage and the husband, because even though he broke my heart, he also gave me the greatest gift possible – my sons. Wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day!

What an AHA moment for you to allow yourself to open your heart and be in the moment filled with the blessing of your two incredible boys who would not be the men they are today without both their parents. I, as always, am so proud of you as you take this journey, my dear friend. And Happy Mother’s Day to one of THE best mothers I have ever known and loved.
