My instead: I posted a message on Facebook to
my daughter-in-law wishing her a happy Mother's Day and she is not a mother…she
is a nurturer.
When I texted my kids last week telling them
that I had osteoporosis, my son Todd texted back to me to “Speak only victory about
your health”. We texted back and forth a bit and then left it at that. Later
that evening as I was mowing the lawn, I thought “why not victory in other
things” and one of those things is my relationship with my daughter-in-law,
Kyra.
Our relationship is not what I would want it
to be. We are separated by many miles so reminders of our estrangement are very
few. It hurts when I feel helpless about improving “us” and becoming loving
again. I just don’t know what to do or say anymore.
However, I have witnessed wonderful things
about Kyra that have absolutely thrilled me and made me love her throughout the
years that I’ve known her. So…Mother’s Day came around this year and I was
drawn to say something to her from my heart with so much love to express. I
posted this on Facebook: Happy Mother's Day, Kyra! Yes, I know it's not biological, but you have
been such an amazing nurturer to so many (me included) that you cannot be
ignored on this special day! Your legacy will be far reaching! I love you.
I long just to reach you….
