My Mother's Heart has carried many different feelings throughout the years...
There are the most obvious feelings...
Love
Pride
Gratitude
The fun feelings...
Excitement
Wonder
Even sad feelings... often felt with my children...
Disappointment
Loneliness
Frustration
When I contemplate the future...
Anticipation
oh, and then there's Pride again
But there are moments for a Mother's Heart when feelings, unexpected feelings, cannot even be named. How do you possibly find a name for the feelings that fill your Mother's Heart when your child is going through a storm?
How could Sadness be a big enough word when you know your son is being bullied, being told he is worthless?
How could Helpless be a strong enough word to describe the feeling of sending your boy into the hallways of his school, where bullies tell him things he should never have to hear?
How could Angry really describe that primal, Mama Bear instinct that is evoked when he shares the details of what a certain boy has been saying to him?
And how could Fear ever come close to naming that feeling when he tells you things you never thought you'd hear him say?
This Mother's Heart needs prayers for her precious son.
