Here is our attempt to get a good Mother's Day photo... In a few more weeks I think that Tru and I will have the same haircut. While I don't love the bald photos of me that are ever increasing, it is how life is right now and I'm hoping to someday look back on this time and be amazed at myself. That I was brave enough to go around bald...
Mother's Day is a bitter sweet one for me right now. I'm so grateful to be this little guys mom. It is the most important and rewarding job that I've ever had. I haven't felt like the best mother this year. We have spent far too much time watching t.v., sitting around, cooped inside. But then I remind myself that this little guy is smothered with hugs and kisses all day long. He knows he is loved. He knows without a doubt who his biggest fans are... and that is so important. More important than getting to story time at the library or whatever "normal" mom's do.
I'm so grateful that I get to be a mom. It is a privilege to take care of this little guy. I thank my Father in Heaven every day for this wonderful blessing in my life. It's a little hard for me that this date of Mother's Day falls so close to the day we lost Clayton. Saturday will be the one year anniversary from when we lost our sweet baby. I've got big plans to make Saturday a fun day with my family instead of a sad and depressing day. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that I am feeling the pains of this huge hole in my heart more in the last couple of weeks than I have in a while. A huge hole that at this point I'm not sure if I will ever be able to fill.
But one thing is for sure. No matter what happens or doesn't happen in my future. No matter what has already happened in my past, I am still a mother. And I have been blessed with a beautiful, bright, child that I am blessed to spend my days with. I cherish every second with him and am also grateful to have a sweet angel baby looking down on us. Life is beautiful...

happy mothers day! what is it about getting boys to look at the camera and smile! adorable!
Happy Mother's Day Meg. Even when you've not been able to do all the 'normal' stuff, you've been an exceptional mother. You deserve that beautiful bright little boy and he loves you both.
I know you don't like the bald pictures, but I have to say that I love them! It shows me your progress (since unfortunately I'm so far away) and shows me your still ever-gorgeous smile! You're a great mother, and Tru is SUPER lucky to have such an incredible mom!!!
You truly are radiant. Please believe me. You are beautiful! You are one of those people that could never look bad. You have such a gorgeous face. Demi-Moore-esque.
I'll be thinking of you on Saturday.
Meg, you are so amazing. You are such a strong woman. I know its been hard not being able to be a "normal" mom to Tru, but I'm sure you have done your best. I am constantly feeling like I should be doing more with Paige (like story time at the library, for example), so I know how you're feeling. I hope things continue to get better for you, so that you can do all the things you want to do.
I'm glad you had a good Mother's Day you look gorgeous. Don't worry about the 'normal' stuff- there isn't any such thing as normal.
We will be thinking of you this Saturday.
I'm sure there has never been a bad photo of you taken, your beauty shines no matter what!!
Love the pictures! Your little boy reminds me of one of my nephews. They're both cute little blond haired boys. :) And cancer or no cancer, you look great. Your face is so bright and gorgeous. Of course I love the red shoes, too! Are they one of the pairs that you bought this year or did you already have them?
Meg, I have to tell you that this is the third day in a row I have pulled up your picture to look at at work. I love it! What I love about it is--you're alive! You're ALIVE! You're beautiful, the sun is shining down on you, your beautiful blond hair (short though it may be) is there, and you look healthy. You won!
Your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing them. You are a beautiful mother and I look up to you in so many more ways than just height!
you look beautiful, you really do. So, I got called to scouts, and I went to my activity, with the scout shirt on and everything, and I look around, and I look exactly like them- a half to 1 inch hair length, sticking straight out- it was funny.
