Dear Mom with empty arms,

I am you and you are me. My arms aren’t completely empty but they are missing something nonetheless. They will always be missing my Macy, no matter if it’s been ten years or a hundred.

I’m thinking of you this Mother’s Day. I’m thinking of all the people yearning to be moms and all the moms with empty arms. It’s a hard day and I’m sending you hugs, even if my arms aren’t enough.

xo,
Melanie
