Mother of 4

Today my son Mason would have been 14 years old.  
Today is the day I remember that I am the mother of 4.  Not that I don't remember him every day in some little way.  But, when people ask, I say I have 3 kids.  I identify myself as a mother of 3. Today though, I celebrate that I have been blessed to have four children.  And although I get the privilege to raise only three of those children, I rejoice knowing my son is being raised by the most perfect parent, Jesus, and I will be blessed to see him again one day.  It is that absolute hope that gives me peace and allows me to say, "It is well with my soul."

    God Bless. Losing a child is one of life's most difficult challenges.

    I never know how to answer that question...I gave birth to three but I've raised two. I will forever be blessed with the time we spent together and I know, like you, that one day we will have a wonderful reunion. Blessings to you.

    I have heard it said...."I have three living, and one in my heart."

    Thinking of you today.

    On March 10th every year I am the "Mother of 3" - the rest of the year...just two. I know the pain in your heart - one day I will be re-united with my son, as you will be with yours. May your heart be a little lighter today knowing that many are thinking of you and your son

      I am a mother of four whom I never got to hold and are now with our Lord. I know your pain. But, praise be to Jesus Christ who gives us hope and peace. We can look forward to the day when we see them again. What a loving God we have!
