I wanted to "bump up" this thread that was first posted a couple of years ago. I know there have been some very sad recent losses among our family -- losses that may make this Mother's Day especially bittersweet for some of our moms. And even for losses from many years past, there is still a special ache that resurfaces annually on this special day. A mother never forgets her children. Never.

So in the midst of celebrating our roles as moms, I want y'all to know there is a thread here where we can honor and remember, and yes shed a tear for, our kids who now revisit us in spirit alone. But what precious spirits they forever remain. Forever our children, forever in our hearts.
