Reflecting once again
The scars that don’t speak for themselves
The unseen ache of what no one sees
The silent tug at the heart
No children to speak of but for our fur babies
Nevertheless an aunt in a lot of ways is like a mother too
And I know you love Khash as if he was our own as much as he loves me and you
You’ve so much affection to give and are just as fit to be what a mother should be
When I think of the ways you work hard for you and me
You’re a caregiver and homemaker in your own way
And deserve just as much to be remembered on Mother’s Day
I know of the past and the children you might have had
And how you can relate to others that may have miscarried
You’ve said at times you wish we could have biological children
But I knew what I was getting into when we got married
I love you so much and I wouldn’t have it any other way
I honestly couldn’t imagine raising kids in the world as it is today
Though others have suggested we might adopt
We both have our reasons for why we do not
Because it gives us our freedom to pursue other things and give each other all that we can
Even though at times I’ve let things get in the way as I learn how to be a husband and a better man
Your resilience bears such stark resemblance to my mom
In that you fight for us at all cost
And even as she said you were the daughter she never had
I know she’d be proud of you too
She raised me by her example of a good woman
To guide me in my love life
To find someone like you
Thank you for being all that you are and bearing with me through all we’ve endured
Happy Mother’s Day, love forever and for always, in action more than just in word…
