“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents
felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was
painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love
or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw,
exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat
outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a
parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.”
“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's
happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons,
to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing
is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything
wrong.”
Have you any idea how many children it takes to turn off one light in
the kitchen Three. It takes one to say What light and two more to say
I didn't turn it on.”
There is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child - and an
instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own.
"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide
forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
