| Happy Mothers Day To all the Mothers out there. Whether your child is physically here with you or not. you are still a mother no matter what and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! |
| To those who look away when we grow teary eyed in the baby department, look a little deeper. Surely you have some compassion in your heart. To those who change the subject when I speak my son's name, change your way of thinking. It just might change your whole life. To those who roll their eyes and say that we barely had the time at all, how could we miss them so much, in our hearts we have seen them live a thousand times. We have seen their first steps,first day of school, their weddings, and their children. We have had them forever in our minds. To those who say we can have another,we did. I thank God for him everyday, but even if I have twenty more babies , I will forever have one in the grave, and that is one too many. To those who say to get on with life, I have. It is a different life, the life of a grieving mother. One with a tremedous amount to be thankful for, but also a lot to mourn the loss of. Do not judge the bereaved mother. She comes in many different forms. She is breathing, but she is dying. She may look young, but inside she has become ancient. She smiles, but her heart sobs. She walks, she talks, she cooks, she cleans, she works, she IS, but she IS NOT all at once. She is here, but part of her is elsewhere for eternity. Do not dismiss us; we have shaped more than just the next generation. We have released all the tiny angels who are watching over us. Open your eyes to US, and you just might see THEM! ~~Author Unknown~~ |
| What Makes a Mother?? I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today. I asked what makes a mother , and I know I heard him say, a Mother has a baby, this we know is true. But, God, can you be a Motherwhen your baby's not with you? Yes, you can, he replied with confidence in his voice. I give many women babies. When they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime and others for the day. And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this, God. I want my baby here. He took a breathe and cleared his throat, and then I saw a tear. I wish I could show you what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile with other children and say, 'we go to earth to learn our lessons on love and life and fear. My mommy loved me oh so much, I got to some straight here. I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me, I learned my lessons very quickly, my Mommy set me free. I miss my Mommy oh so much, but I visit her each day. When she goes to sleep, on her pillow's where I lay. I stroker her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in hear ear....Mommy, don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here. So you see, my dear sweet one, your children are ok. Your babies are here in my home and this is where they'll stay. They'll wait for you with me until your lesson's through. And on that day you come home, they'll be at the gates for you. So now you see what makes a Mother. It's the feelings in your heart. It's the love you had so much of right from the very start. Though some of earth may not realize until their home is done. Remember all the love you have known that you are a Special Mom. |
| I am a Bereaved Parent I am so empty Yet so full of memories of my child. I am a bereaved parent. I am so sad Yet so happy my child existed. I am a bereaved parent. I am so down today Yet looking for hope for tomorrow I am a bereaved parent. I am so scared Yes brave enough to want to live I am a bereaved parent. I am in darkness Yes the light of my child's life comforts me I am a bereaved parent. I feel the coldness of grief Yet I can see the warmth of my child's smile I am a bereaved parent. I am full of tears Yet laughter will return someday I am a bereaved parent. I am so lost Yet today I found a rainbow. I have only yesterday's memories. I am a bereaved parent. You see, today and always, I will be a bereaved parent. ~Author Unknown~ |

| A Tribute to Mom Your child is now in Heaven And your heart and life seem blue, and you may well be thinking What 'happy' means to you. It may seem like just a short time That your sweet child went away Or it may see like a hundred years ~ It's different every day. No matthew if you had your child for forty years or none. You earned the name of 'Mother' As soon as conception was done. And even though your arms are bare And your beloved child is gone The honored name of 'mother' Is something that lives on. Forever and ever. Your sweet childs mom you will be And in Heaven you will be reunited For all eternity. So, dry your tears sweet mother, And lift your heart in Love. You'll always be a mother Both here and up above. |
