May 6th

I meant to post this yesterday but Seth started his masters degree and was on the computer all night last night so I didn't get a chance to do it. About 3 months ago I was deep into blog world late one night and came across a blog that had a bunch of international dates on it. This group of partents decided to create an International Bereaved Mother's Day for all the mommies across the world that are suffering and grieving their babies or children. Sadly there are so many mommies that don't have any children here on earth so when Mother's Day comes around they are not recognized to be mommies because their children are not living. To me this is ridiculous, but it is true. I have even had people look at me weird when they ask me how many children I have and I reply with saying "I have 2 a boy who's 7 and a girl who is in heaven" it's like Amelia shouldn't count the way Aiden does because she is not physically here. It makes me so angry when I hear people say things like that, because they have no idea how difficult it is to be a bereaved parent. Anyway I wanted to share a sticker from that blog so people know about this day, because there are so many mommies that suffer and no one realizes it. It is just another reminder that we are not alone in our grief and there are thousands of women out there that carry their child/children in their hearts rather then in their arms.  So if you know someone who has lost a baby or a child share this with them, tell them that their is a special day for them. It is always the first Sunday in May.
