The void that can't be refilled: A Mother's Day for the missing, the remembered and the unseen
Mother's Day arrives wrapped in flowers, laughter, and warm embraces. Today is also for those who carry their mothers in memory, in stories, or sometimes in nothing but a name. This day belongs to those who lost their mothers too early, before they could truly know her love, those who never saw her face, only hearing fragments of who she was, and those who have only a photograph - or nothing at all.
Growing up without a mother often means learning life on your own, sooner than you should. In some homes, the difference in love is felt; in others, strength is forced upon you long before you are ready. Some have become mothers themselves - holding their children a little tighter, loving them a little deeper, determined to give what they never had. The day also honors the fathers who stepped in and became both mother and father.
