mother's day 2006
9:35 a.m. on May 12, 2006
mexico's mother's day was the 10th and another mother's day is coming this sunday. i've already gotten calls and cards from friends and family. they're all very nice but i still can't help but to feel a little jab every time i read "on your first mother's day..."
this isn't my first mother's day. i had my first mother's day in 2004. it was an extremely sad one but it was my first mother's day. it was not your traditional mother's day but it was still my first mother's day.
i guess since Mia is out of sight she is out of mind for others. but she isn't out of mind for me. she is in my mind every day and even more now that i have Naima. i guess i wasn't mother those years since i didn't have my baby at my side. but i've always considered myself a mother to Mia even though she's not here with me. i still worry about her...think of her...love her...i'm still her mother.
i know my friends and family don't mean any harm...they simply don't understand...and i understand that...but it still stings a bit when i see those words, "on your first mother's day..."
this sunday abel and i and Naima will be spending a quiet mother's day remembering Mia and including her in our little family...
