Mother’s Day is a time without for M-E and millions upon millions of fellow of my fellow “orphans”. My beloved mother has passed away several years ago but still brings pain to my heart during this time of year. I believe she truly is in a better place but still miss her. My mother was my biggest cheerleader and now the cheers come much less often. Yet, I’m truly grateful for the special time we had together and will due my utmost to keep those positive memories alive even as she is not here. My cup is 1/2 full because I was blessed to have her with me for all those years. I just ask those who are blessed to have their mothers with them now to give them an extra hug from me as our time is not guaranteed except for the special time you have now.
