I carried it with me for years, almost dreading even the notion.... What would I do, if .. when.. a child should ever become a part of my life? God, how the thought frightened me... Me. A mother? How could I dare bring a child into this world not ever having had an example to learn by.. to fill me with motherly tendencies.. I had not known that touch that love, that guidance fear gripped me.... then the gift of you was bestowed upon me and years of uncertainty of doubt... with a single brush of fingers curled in mine instantly disapeared and I knew a mothers love was within me all of the time... I really want to care, I want to feel something, let me dig a little deeper nah, still nothing~ my give a DAMN is busted.

That single touch when we first lay eyes on our precious little ones is the cycle of life starting all over. After that we bloom and grow forever, together. There is such a lovely tenderness in your words, Donna. Thank you for this. |

Experience teaches us that we will never know it all... but mothers seem to feel the tug of child just a little deeper... and a lot longer... of course, I know PiP has some exceptional dads that will argue with me on that point, but agree wholeheartedly... that this is a   Love, the other Mom |

Donna The rocking rhythm of a mother holding a child, is inborn! But, you know that now. |

I'll never forget how above all the other baby's crys in the hospital nursery, (when they woke me in the middle of the night for his first feeding) I picked out my Daniel's cry as i was walking toward the nursery. And yup, I was right. 'tis the best thing in the world, Motherhood. Love this Bella, you know that already.. but wanted to tell you again. Absolutely precious. it's a mxx "we all have wings, but some of us don't know why" |
