the following was sent to me via email. it touched me. since i currently do not have any contact with my daughter, it saddens me to even think of mother's day this year. so i have decided to put it here tonight so that i can sit quietly at home this coming mother's day and wonder where i went wrong with my daughter............
Before I was a Mom...
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom...
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom...
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom...
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom...
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom...
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a

Very touching. I pray for a miracle to happen to your daughter before Mother's Day and for her to come to her senses. If not you know you have the love of so many here. Paula
In time.....I pray she will come back to you.....I don't know the circumstances, but I can tell you from experience that I stayed away from my mom for awhile at one point in my life and it only hurt me and how I wish I had never done that, and am so thankful now that she is part of my life totally and my best friend.
Don't give up hope.

((((((((((((((((HUGSOYOU))))))))))))))))))))I pray your Daughter will come back to you.
I don't know the circumstances, but don't blame yourself; kids get rebellious at times or choose to separate from their parents for a bit; I know I did with my mom and came back to her when I got wiser
betty
