15 years ago I was told I had a brain tumor and was also
told I was Pregnant and in choosing to carry my baby full
term could possibly cause my death… I choose life
and I am forever blessed..

I carried Daniel 10 months, I guess it
Was mother natures way of making sure I was strong
Enough to endure the labor, who knows.
I wrote in a journal daily to Daniel, in hopes that if
For some reason I was not to be the first to hold him
He would know who I was and how deeply he was
Loved, and maybe answers some of life’s question
He might have.

This is the last page I wrote in his journals, which will
Be his gift from me on his Birthday next month.

My Dearest Son
Upon this day the sun shined
Birds flew singing of praise
Bestowed upon me
Life’s most precious gift
A son

If you are reading these pages, and it’s not my hands
That extended them too you, please know in my spirit
You live and in my soul I was forever blessed.

Daniel
A name given to you, providing you strength and understanding
Please my son
Stand tall, stand proud
Provide the world with all you embrace
Know in your heart that I am so near
Know in your soul love will knock upon your door
I was blessed my son
With
10 months of holding you
Nurturing you
Speaking silently through the gentlest of touch
Unconditionally you shined the way
Unconditionally you loved the same
Unconditionally you took your first breath
Unconditionally you saved my world

This man that sits before
Loves you as his own
Blessed be the union you two travel on
Siblings times three
There love for you is true
Daniel my precious baby
Fly upon the wind

I need you too know
My life was full of hope
Faith provided the strength
Destiny they might say
Took me away
No tears my child
No what ifs or what nots
My gift to you
Love of a family.

Shadows and whispers
Yes… that’s mommy

I ask of you just a simple request
Make patience your guide
Believe in Rainbows
Fairytales too
Most of all
Believe in you….

Off I go, yet never to far
My Son, My Gift
Oh I Love You…

April 23rd, 2009

Another year of celebration
Another year filled with hope
My son,
I pass these journals to you
Enlightening your day of birth
Reminding you once again
How
Blessed am I
To have given birth
Happy Day of Birth my Son
Shine upon the sky
Fly with the wind
Most of all
My son
Enjoy the journey
To come

Love
Mommy

So very touching.... That was truly wonderful.

I am now crying at work, but I had no choice after reading such a loving expression that you wrote, a mother to her son. Happy Birthday to Daniel and bright wishes to his mother.

Passes the box of tissues (after extracting a handful for herself, of course). Mops up with those same tentacles of the heart, takes a deep breath-n-bellows --
