I wrote this last year on Mother's Day...but the sentiment holds true today...
This Mother's Day is going to be a little unlike any I've spent before it. I have celebrated many a Mother's Day as a daughter. I've been lucky over the past eight years, to celebrate it as a mother with both my son and then my daughter. But this Mother's Day especially, I am going to spend being especially thankful for a woman, a mother, who I never had the opportunity to actually meet. I woman who I am thankful for every single day. Because this year, I'm spending Mother's Day with her son. And this year, I'm celebrating Mother's Day with the grandson she never had the opportunity to meet. My son. This year, I'm celebrating the woman who would have been my mother in law.
