Project Mother's Day 2012
Project Mother's Day was born last year out my own negative feelings about Mother's Day. I was certain that other mother's of medically fragile children struggled with the day as much as I did. It was true. The experience was nearly overwhelming for the volunteers who made the deliveries. I remember one mom in particular. It was afternoon by the time we made our way to the sweet small house. The mom was just coming in the door. She lead us into meet her daughter who was watching a movie in specially decorated room. When we got down to the gift giving, the mom was nearly in tears, saying, "This means something different than I thought it would. I just came from making funeral arrangements for my own mother and..." An understanding beyond words passed between all of us.
It is an honor to help children who are not able to reach out their mothers by themselves. We do not claim to replace the voice of a kiddo saying, "I love you" or even saying, "Mom."

Yesterday's Scrapbooking jumped into help Project Mother's Day by hosting a card making day, April 16th. Each mom will be receiving a hand made card. I was touch by their spirit, their stories, and their dedication. Here and there mixed in with the cards were parts to pages for Make-a-Wish...
