To my Friend that found out on Mothers Day her Mom has Cancer. "Somewhere"

"SOMEWHERE" from Lei,

Somewhere someone has just found out she is going to become a Mother. Somewhere someone has found out she won't. Somewhere a Mother is crying for the loss of a pregnancy. Somewhere a Mother isn't ready to be a Mother. Somewhere a Mother is giving birth. Somewhere a Mother is sleep deprived. Somewhere a Mother is staring into the eyes of a newborn. Somewhere a Mother is picking up cheerios up off the floor. Somewhere a Mother is making sacrifices. Somewhere a Mother is watching her baby learn to walk. Somewhere a Mother is gently cleaning a boo-boo and covering it with a band aid. Somewhere a Mother is rocking a sick child. Somewhere a Mother is finding out she has cancer. Somewhere a Mother is dying. Somewhere a Mother is caring for her own Mother. Somewhere a Mother is ready to give up. Somewhere a Mother is asking for help. Somewhere a Mother is cleaning the house. Somewhere a Mother is making a meal for her family. Somewhere a Mother has a family has finally found joy in the little things. Somewhere a Mother is teaching a Child. Somewhere a Mother is being taught. Somewhere a Mother is feeling proud. Somewhere a Mother is being humiliated in the grocery store by her toddler. Somewhere a Mother needs a break. Somewhere a Mother has found time for herself. Somewhere a mother is praying for her children. Somewhere a mother is praying for herself. Somewhere a Mother is worrying. Somewhere a Mother is doubting herself. Somewhere a Mother is paving the way. Somewhere a Mother is ready to take on the world. Somewhere a Mother is being criticized. Somewhere a Mother is loosing her inhibitions. Somewhere a Mother is feeling humbled. Somewhere a Mother is reaching out. Somewhere a Mother is helping another Mother. Somewhere a Mother is feeling unappreciated. Somewhere a Mother is crying. Somewhere a Mother needs to be held. Somewhere a Mother is -thinking of the future. Somewhere a Mother wonders how she is going to make it tomorrow. Somewhere a Mother is attending a graduation. Somewhere a Mother is planning a wedding. Somewhere a Mother is burying her child. Somewhere a Mother is watching her child be a Parent. Somewhere a Mother's long journey is coming to an end.

This is not always an easy day. Prayers to my friend in their suffering, grieving. Love you my friend.
