 'Every mother wants to be there for their children until their children are very very grown, no mother wants to leave their child as an infant cause they know the child won’t get motherly love.

To all those whose moms are in heaven, to those whose babies are in heaven, those who are still trying to be moms, those who are having a tough relationship with their moms, those who are praying to be moms, and those who are moms.....

I value you cause i have walked a mile in your shoes and though my life plan had never been to become a Mother to a 3 month old,.
