To All Mothers
Next to the holiday season, today stands out as a day filled with intricate emotions. As we begin this day, we carry a collection of feelings, akin to suitcases brimming with emotions. My photo captures a tapestry woven from my experiences, evoking tears of joy and sadness. We must acknowledge and respect the emotions of this day, granting ourselves moments of respite to reflect upon these feelings. By honouring our unique lived experiences, we can forge ahead, secure in the knowledge that we all deserve to embrace this day.
Mothers facing a stage IV cancer diagnosis experience a constant state of angst, fearing that the disease will deprive them of the chance to raise their children. Every day, I offer my prayers, hoping that we can lead lives resembling those with chronic illnesses, allowing us to accompany our children and grandchildren on their journeys. Today, my wish for you with stage IV is to possess sufficient energy, encounter minimal side effects, and receive the support necessary to acknowledge your incredible strength as a mother who triumphs over cancer every day and continues to serve as a mother to those they raise.
To all mothers,
Who celebrate their moms
Who celebrates two moms
Who celebrate with their children
Who grieves a child in heaven
Who are adopted or foster moms
Who are single moms
Who are step-moms
Who celebrate moms who passed
Who grieve the first year without their moms
Who are four-pawed moms
Who selfishly gives without the title of mom
Who yearns to be a mother
Who cannot carry a child
Who have strained child/mom relationships
and whoever else I missed, I wish you love and compassion on this day!
