or how long the road may be....
Today is one of those days for me.
I guess it's mainly because I miss my prodigal son. This Mother's Day will be the fifth in a row that Daniel has been out of our lives. On the one day each year when we celebrate the gift of mothers, my family will again be one child short. I know I will be surrounded by my other 3 children (and my son-in-law), and showered in endless love, but a piece of my heart will be missing. Because Mother's Day for me is about celebrating the gift of my children... the 4 precious gifts I have been given to do life with.
Thanks for bearing with me...

My heart aches for you, I'm so sorry! I know it's not much, but from one mother to another I'm sending you a hug!
It's a long way and at the end comes back light ...
Best regards, Karin
i am sorry for your pain. prodigal son, indeed.
I am so sorry for your sadness and pain. Praying that you feel some joy this mothers day!
I have a prodigal brother (now in his 50s) and see my mother's pain in your post. To everyones surprise he attended my dad's funeral and I managed to get my arms around him (while he stood wooden and remote) and tell him we loved him. He whispered, "I know." So I say just go on loving your son, he will know. Enjoy the love you receive from the rest of your family.

I can understand how your heat aches for something that doesn't happen. Take comfort in your new life and othger children and your wonderful creative assets that you possess. I love coming to visit your photographic blog posts Liz
I can really feel your pain. I wish he comes back to his mom soon. I know it is complicated but I have a good feeling. I DO!!!
Hello! Yes some days the road is short some days the road is long that's life ! Have a nice day !
I'm sorry and totally understand your pain. We have four daughters and one son. No one in our family has heard from or seen our son for over two years.
We haven't the slightest clue why... It might have had something to do with him being the youngest, but who knows. I hope that one day, he is drawn back to us.
Fantastic photos!
I only have one son and can not imagine my life without him. I am sorry about your son and I hope one day he returns to you and your family. Your photos are beautiful. I hope you have a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day!
Mother's Day can be an awkward event for many. May the day also bring many blessings your way. I love your third photo.
I hate to sound really negative, but I really don't like Mothers Day. To many emotions involved. I hope your is great despite your heartache!
