To those who experienced loss through miscarriage, failed adoptions or running away—we mourn with you.

To those who experienced abuse at the hands of your own mother—we acknowledge your experience. To those who lived through driving tests, medical tests and the overall testing of motherhood—we are better for having you in our midst. To those who have aborted children—we remember them and you on this day. To those who are single and long to be married and mothering your own children— we mourn that life has not turned out the way you longed for it to be. To those who stepparent—we walk with you on these complex paths. To those who envisioned lavishing love on grandchildren, yet that dream is not to be, we grieve with you. To those who will have emptier nests in the upcoming year—we grieve and rejoice with you. To those who placed children for adoption—we commend you for your selflessness and remember how you hold that child in your heart. And to those who are pregnant with new life, both expected and surprising— we anticipate with you.
