Mother Warriors

There are all sorts of mother warriors out there, not just mother's battling autism. I received a letter in the mail this week from a family friend who is an amazing mother herself. This mother has a child with cystic fibrosis. I can only imagine that she barely has time to herself to read a book, take a shower, or even catch up on her favorite t.v. shows. Yet she took the time to write me one of the most encouraging letters. She shared that she thinks of me at least three times a week, and when she does she prays for me. Isn't that amazing? This mother who has suffered so much, in and out of hospitals, grinding her son's medicines, and a list of the other daily tasks, has found the time to pray for me. It just shows how us mother's (well most) are able to sympathize with one another and feel each other's burdens and pain. I have met so many moms along this journey who have truly sympathized with our pain as well as remind us of what we have to be grateful for. To all the mothers out there........thank you! I draw from your strength, perseverance, love, and it makes me a stronger mother!
