To Those People Who’s Celebrating Mother’s Day Without A Mom
Mothers are great gifts
I’ve always thought that Mother’s Day was a holiday. I mean, it should be a holiday. We should celebrate mother’s day without a need to go to work and spend our time with our mothers, aunties, or grandmothers. There’s no amount of how mothers have to go through in life since they became a mother. Mothers have sacrificed their youth to have their first child. They have gained weight and looked even more tired, and the responsibility of being a mother added to their lives.
If you’re celebrating a mother’s day without a mom, I need you to know that you are not alone. I am sure that your mom is so proud of you. She’s even more proud that you became her child. I am sure that she cherished every moment with you. You are the most precious gifts she ever received, and I am sorry that you wouldn’t be with her on a particular day.
If you have a mother that you can still speak with, talk to them as much as possible because not everyone has seen their mother, and not everyone has a mother with them. Some mothers are in the hospital, and it is harder to think that they cannot visit them due to pandemics. In some hospitals, visitors are allowed to visit the patient but only a few hours.
It’s hard to think that some of them wouldn’t be able to be with them to celebrate Mother’s day on Sunday. I can’t imagine being in someone’s shoes where they have to go through some shits like they cannot visit their loved ones and people who have lost their mothers in recent years or haven’t seen their mothers at all.
Some of my friends are celebrating mother’s day as a mom for the first time. I am beyond grateful to see them happy and excited to celebrate mother’s day. I have seen them grow since high school, and now they’re taking the responsibility of being a mother — a mother for a lifetime, without a break.
A part of me is missing on Mother’s day because I wouldn’t celebrate it with my mom, grandmother, and auntie. They hold value in my life, and I wouldn’t be with them. It’s hard not being with them on a particular day to celebrate their lives as mothers, but it’s harder to think that I wouldn’t be able to see them during the pandemic.
If your mother is in the hospital, I am so sorry. I know how hard it is. I know how it feels like to celebrate a mother’s day without a mom, and harder to think if they’re in the hospital during the pandemic. In hospitals, they don’t allow visitors. Or maybe they have some restriction hours where they can only visit the patient.
If you are a mother reading this, I want to greet you a Happy Mother’s Day and thank you for taking the responsibility of being a mother.
