A Special Happy Mom's Day for waiting moms
I feel your pain. This time last year I was waiting for Gabriela to get out of PGN and home to the USA. It was my first Mother's Day, I didn't have her and I was depressed.
My sister sent me a card that said "On Your first Mother's Day." That meant so much to me. I was a Mom but my girl was not with me. It was so nice to have my family acknowledge me as a mom. So rejoice. You are very special moms. The wait seems interminable, I know. Those wonderful children need us to keep fighting for them to come home. I wish you all peace during your wait. I hope that soon this will all be a distant memory.

Keeping all "waiting" mothers in my thoughts and prayers. And remember, what makes you a mother is the love in your heart. Happy Mother's Day to all!!!
