Happy Mothers day to this who are waiting....

I have copied this from a friends blog and is for all us that are still waiting for our baby

"Happy Mother's Day”

It comes around every year;
but when you have empty arms,
it's very hard to hear.
It's a day to celebrate a mother,
for all the trials she overcame;
and a reminder to an infertile of her loneliness and shame.
But what really makes a mother,
Is it just conception and birth?
Or is there something more,
that shows a mother's worth?
It's putting your child first,
in everything you do;
it's sacrifice and determination,and love and patience too.
An infertile woman makes all her plans,
around a child not yet conceived;
she loves them even though they aren't here,
more than she ever could have believed.
She appreciates and understands,
what a blessing that children are;
she works hard for just a chance,
that motherhood is not that far.
All odds are stacked against her,
and yet she still has hope;
everyday is another struggle,
finding ways to help her cope.
So even though her arms are empty,
she can still be a mother too;
So say a special “Happy Mother's Day”
for those waiting for their dreams to come true!

Mothers day is very hard for so many of us, and I find it very hard, especially as I am exposed to it twice a year! The UK date for Mothers Day is earlier than in USA and as I live in the UK and my Mother lives in the USA. Such a constant reminder of what I am not and what I do not have.

I keep telling myself one day......
