Mother's Day is almost here. In a way, I dread that day this year. This year, Mother's Day has a very special meaning to me. For this year, I'm a mother -- not just a mother-to-be. To spite what other people might think or say (or not say), I am a mother, and will be very sad this Mother's Day. While others will be spending time with their mothers, and I with mine, I won't see my son because he's gone, but he's in Heaven, and he's fine. I'll go to the cemetery to visit my son. Oh, how I dread this Mother's Day -- my very first one As a different person, as a mother. It will be a day like no other. Somehow, I'll find the strength (I always do) To face every new day and make it through. I never pictured my first Mother's Day, as a mother, to be a sad day, But the fact is my baby died, and it will be sad -- I'll make it through some way. Written May 4, 1998 by Heather A.
