Happy Mother’s Day

I want to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the angel moms in the world. And of course, a Happy Mother’s Day to all current mothers as well. You ladies are strong and blessed. Mothers with living children are blessed with the opportunity to give their lives a whole new meaning.

I also want to wish a special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and my mother-in-law. Without my mother, I wouldn’t be in this world. I wouldn’t have had the guidance I needed through life, and I probably wouldn’t be as mature as I am today. Without my mother-in-law, I wouldn’t have found my husband—my backbone, my rib.

Today, I would have been a mother to three loving boys if I didn’t have an incompetent cervix. But it simply wasn’t God’s plan for me at that time. I’m still learning to understand the why, but I’ve learned to trust the process. Through my pregnancy loss and my journey toward motherhood, I’ve been able to be a blessing to other women. Sharing my story has made an impact on others, and that alone is such a blessing.

My testimony is someone else’s testimony. At the end of the day, what God has for you is for you. I trust the Lord, and I believe I will be a mother to living children in the future—hopefully several. I am thankful that I can help another woman who is struggling while grieving the loss of her baby.

Is Mother’s Day hard for me?

No—it’s just another day.

I’ve learned to take life one day at a time. In my heart, I am a mother. I constantly remind myself that God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers. I am a soldier, and I am not a quitter—so I am not giving up.

I know I haven’t blogged in a while, but I’m finding the courage to continue writing out my feelings. Writing has been a coping method for me throughout this entire process. My husband has been incredibly supportive, along with my family, friends, and fans. Thank you to everyone who continues to follow my journey, and thank you to those who constantly send prayers.

Happy Mother’s Day,
Mrs. Goodwin
