Happy Holidays,
I will be with my Son by the time this post reaches you and I hope you are all with your loved ones.
He’s completing a semester 8,000 miles abroad for his major. His travels have caused the longest period I have had to go without seeing him in person and wrapping him in a hug. He was knitted together inside my body to be so far away and unattainable is something my brain and heart don’t compute well.
I can only imagine what it would be like if I didn’t know where my child was or if I didn’t know my child was safe. I won’t allow my relationships with my children to become physically present but emotionally unattainable or vice versa. Other loving mothers are forced to grieve the loss of a child physically and emotionally at the same time for their pain, I am sorry.
There are 40 million known human trafficked victims at this time in the United States, so there are at least 40 million mothers or other loved ones aching to have their children safe and sound. It doesn’t matter if the trafficked person is in elementary school or a grown adult, the bond between mother and child is unprecedented. I pray that all families reunite as I will be with my Son.
We speak out against human trafficking, to prevent human suffering. Period. For all humans involved.
I will reunite with my child soon. I anticipate that more than I let on. I am a blessed mother wishing you all only the best.
Your Friend,
Stacey
