A View of Motherhood. One year later.

     One year ago, I watched as you faced the holiday with all the resolve you could muster.  It was a day you were fully entitled to celebrate, yet he was not there to celebrate it with you.  One year later, you celebrated  your second Mother's Day, and this time she was there.  It was a blessing to watch you stare into her eyes and hold her close to you throughout the day.  You looked so beautifully happy.  Though she was close, I know he was on your mind and in your heart as well.  One year ago I had no idea just how much of a difference one year can make.  I'm glad I got to find out.
