I bet you have been wondering what has been going on with me these past few years. For so long you had been forgotten, never really thought of in the first place. You have probably felt abandoned, cast aside and homeless. For this I apologize and pray that what I have offered you is proof of my sincerity. We have never had this talk, at least not to the depth at which I am now. You and I were both raised in a seemingly loveless home, so we have a lot in common. I didn't know about love and the abundance at which it could be given and received. Your journey into this realization took a little longer than mine, but I can sense that you have finally made it there.
These past few years you have been poked, prodded, needled like a junky and fed drugs like a child trapped in a crack house. This was not done in vain, I promise you. This was done to prepare you for the most important job of your life.
I know that you have felt several losses too. I just want you to know that it was not your fault. There is a force so much greater than even the two of us combined. His name is God. And for some reason, only He will ever know, He gave those gifts to us and then He called them home. It seems at first like an empty gift, but it's not. He left behind three beautiful little angels to care for and watch over you and me. So, uterus, don't grieve any longer for those souls. They are happy to be with you at this time in your life. By the way, I can see that you are giddy with excitement over having a new life to hold. I'm so proud of the job you have done so far and I know that you have given this baby a safe and nurturing home in which it can grow and thrive. And remember, this baby is a gift from God, not a burden or a test. Our lord God will take care of both of us. I love you.
Love, The Mom
