Walking & Rolling and Wishes On This Mother's Day

Next Sunday, sixteen family members and close friends will be 'walking and rolling' in memory of Kitty at a fundraiser for Faith's Lodge, a retreat center that supports parents and families coping with the death or medically complex condition of a child.  I kind of wish that the event was today, rather than a week from now, although I completely understand the reasoning.  So, for today I am at home enjoying a peaceful afternoon and gratefully anticipating next Sunday's event.

Both Mother's and Father's Day - quite honestly - aren't very enjoyable anymore.  As I suspect may be true for many grieving grandparents, we are also bereaved sons and daughters.  We have no living parents to honor and we silently watch our own children suffer through the well-intended greetings of 'Happy Mother's/Happy Father's Day' as they mourn the loss of their child.
