This is beautiful, and I absolutely love that you mentioned foster mothers, who might be missing a child who was in their motherly care, as well as biological mothers. (I am an adopted daughter to my first and forever mothers, and was fostered for a while. I was told that my foster mother had longed to keep me. I am so truly grateful for all my mothers).

Thanks for sharing this with me, Jenni. Even though Mother's Day is a pretty joyous occasion for me (a healthy relationship with my mom, mother in law, and my son Shia) I feel really sad at certain moments throughout the day because I miss the kids who were once in my care, who I had the privilege of mothering for a season. <3

Oh this is so beautiful. I often think of the foster mother (and father) who loved and mothered me for a while. Prayers for your Mother's Day tomorrow.❤️
