breathless

Oh wow, sweet, sweet friends. 

Your words, your stories, I am breathless with honour that you share them with me. It is incredible that so many families have been through miscarriage and yet how unique and different each story is. My heart aches for each of you. 

There are still many feathers left. Please if you know of anyone who has gone through the pain of a miscarriage send them over here to get a feather, or get one for them. 

Thank you for sharing your stories with me. 

Please comment here or send me a e-mail, alicia.millis@gmail.com if you would like a feather. 

 

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 mother, 
When 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 thier choice. 
Some I send for a lifetime, 
And others for a day. 
And some I send to feel your womb, 
But theres no need to stay. 
I just don't understand this God, 
I want my baby here. 
He took a breath and cleared his throat, 
And then I saw a tear. 
I wish that I could show you, 
What your child is doing today, 
If you could see your child smile, 
With other children who say: 
We go to earth and learn our lessons, 
Of love and life and fear. 
My mommy loved me oh so much, 
I got to come 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 stroke her hair and kiss her cheek, 
And whisper in her 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, 
They'll be at heavens gate for you. 
So now you see what makes a mother. 
It's the feeling in your heart. 
It's the love you had so much of, 
Right from the very start. 
Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother, 
until their time is done. 
They'll be up here with Me one day, 
And you'll know that you're the best one!

Alicia, I'd be so happy if you could send my dear friend, Kelly, a feather. Kelly is a wonderful woman that has endured too much pain and loss for such a young woman. She lost her first born son, Trevor, at 9 months old when her day card provider murdered him by shaken baby syndrome. Since then (2 yrs ago September) she has had 2 miscarriages. She just found out last month that she really shouldn't have been able to carry Trevor because of her uterus shape and she has a thyroid issue. Trevor was a miracle baby and is now a beautiful angel helping to take care of his 2 angel siblings and your Glitter.

I will email you my new address so you can send the feather to me and I can pass it along to her.

There is nothing more painful than a mother saying good bye too soon. My own miscarriage will forever leave a tiny scar in my heart. While I have healed, it still hurts sometimes.

Thank you!
