A Mothers Reflection
You’ve grown much too quickly my curly headed boy. Nearly two, I feel your baby phase quickly slipping away. We’ve had much longer then your siblings before. I have come to realize it will never be long enough. The last year and some odd months blurred with grief, sorrow so deep. I’ll never forget nursing you to sleep in those months following. Just you and I, rocking back and forth, tears pouring down my cheeks. Those moments sacred, a young mother weeping for her mother. I was so lost and all at once in the quiet with you I was found. Through nourishing and loving you and your siblings purpose flourished from me. I am a motherless mother. I now know the enormous value of a mothers presence because I live everyday without it. Her absence is strong and warm, it grounds me. Her love forever transcending until we meet again.
