All the little things we take for granted
like watching your baby sit up, crawl, and take
his/her first step. Listening to her cry at night, rocking her
gently to sleep as she coos in your ear. Its a softening sound that is
calming like the ocean.
Watching her grow day by day into an extrodenary
person that you created
and that your so proud of. Being happy, happier then
you've ever felt, because
of this life that has blossemed before your eyes.
We natural parents will not get to be their when she
crys at night, or when she's
afraid, we wont get to softly comfort her the way only
a mommy or daddy can.
We won't wave to her on the first day of school, and
we won't get to cry at her
wedding.
We natural parents have had this life gutted from us, we
are eternally damaged for life.
We will never move on and when we see a child playing at
a park we will remember
our child for we know she is gone. All we have is the
memory to comfort us, and the
the courage to fight another day.
Our family has been shattered, our dreams crushed, and
adoption is the cause of our
pain and everyday another woman will sit and cry in
silence as they take her newborn
and she will go through the years wondering what has
become of her.
So, the next time you take anything with your child for
granted remember the
mothers and fathers without their children, remember the
pain and suffering they
are going through. And always love your child and hold on
to her, don't let her go
tell her you love her everyday and be happy you have her,
she is your life and you are
hers.
Everynight before I sleep I pray for them, William and
Christina my precious children you
will not be forgotten and when the time comes my children
we will meet again
and I will never take you for granted.
