Today is National Sons Day, and my heart can’t help but reflect on the incredible gift God gave me in each of my boys. Being their mom has been, and always will be, one of the greatest honors of my life.
Here’s the thing—life doesn’t always look the way we dreamed it would. As our sons grow into adults, relationships sometimes shift in ways we never expected. For some, the closeness you long for may not be there right now. For others, the bond may look different than it once did. And that can be heartbreaking.
But no matter what the present holds, nothing can erase the beauty of the memories you’ve shared—the first time you held them, the sound of their laughter, the milestones you celebrated together. Those moments are forever etched into your heart, untouchable and sacred.
To every mom who aches for a different kind of relationship with her son today, please hear this: your role as his mother will always matter. Your love leaves a mark that cannot be undone. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep holding onto hope. Because we serve a God who specializes in restoration. He has the power to redeem what feels broken and breathe life into what seems lost.
And to those sons who have chosen to stay—who show up, call, visit, or simply make room in their busy adult lives for their mom—you are a treasure beyond words. Your presence is a gift, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Today, I honor both the ache and the joy: the hope I carry for restoration and the gratitude I hold for the love that remains steady.
Happy National Sons Day, sweet friends. May your heart be filled with both gratitude for what has been and hope for what is yet to come.
