Missing a piece

This video was posted on the Facebook page for Luminous Light Studio. Lexi Behrndt had a hand in making it. I wrote down the words from the video, so some of the punctuation and spacing may not be correct. Love you!

Comment from Luminous Light: The first time I saw this video, it wrecked me. The second time I saw this...it wrecked me again. Thank you, Lexi Behrndt, for making beauty from ashes. Thinking of all the moms who have a piece of them missing this Mother's Day.

To the mother with an aching heart,
on Mother's Day.
It feels like this burden is too heavy.
It feels like grief wants to swallow you whole.
We see you.

Maybe you only knew their heartbeat,
Maybe you held them in your arms.
Maybe it happened yesterday, or 30 years ago.
We know you don't forget.
We want you to know
that neither do we.

We see your pain,
and we see your tremendous, unbreakable, never-ending love.
A love that is stronger than pain,
stronger than disappointment,
stronger than even death.

Even though you might not feel like it,
Mother's Day belongs to you too.
Today, especially, we want you to know:
You are seen.
You matter.
You are still their mom.
You are never alone.
From one mother to another,
you are loved.
