Merry Christmas

   


 

Christmas of 96

seems so long ago,

the last time i saw you...

but i didn't know.

The visit was so short;

they tried to keep me away,

I had no control

but I still found a way.

One of your gifts from me~

simple, but full of creativity

you said ' Mommy let me color one for you'

will you lay and watch me?'

So we layed on the floor

with markers in hand,

I said 'jimmy go un natural'

creative is the way to be'.

You stayed in the lines

and flooded the page with colors;

and on that day

my heart filled of it's flowers....

for it was the first time

you wrote four little words

without asking for my help,

that have lasted forever afterwards.

You wrote 'I love you mommy'

and I just filled with tears,

but you didn't see them

they've stayed with me all these years.

Your fake gramma was mad

she said you never colored for her,

she said you scribbled

and that day she cast her curse.

I'll never forgive her

but i knew they were fake

it was my blood

she was determined to fore sake.

Ten years later

and I still hold you near

worrying every day,

but it gets easier every year

One day I will find you...

Don't ever think not !!

Merry Christmas dear Jimmy

this day I have never forgot

    MY SON FOUND ME

    well, after 13 long awaited years, my son found me when he turned 18 february of 2009, 2 mos before he turns 19. All these years i had kept telling myself that I had a connection to him, and spent many numerous nights talking to him thru mental telepathy thru brainwaves of love, and devotion, to let him know he was never forgotten, to let him know that he has been with me all these years. Many coincidents that took place in my situation, as people would deem them as..'coincidences' but i call it fate, and God. One person i gave up on, but still talked to in times of deep depression and desperatism, and begged him to hear me, and watch over my kids while i couldnt be there. And he did. And i was right all along about my connection with my son. and now, we have a great relationship that i will never lose again. The waiting is over, the years of crying and being depressed are over and i can now begin to feel the feeling of happiness. A feeling I have never known before in my life. but now i do

    I cannot imagine what it would be like to not see my children. My husband has 2 children from a previous marriage he is not allowed to see, and it breaks his heart... They have 'disappeared', and we don't know how to get in touch. I pray you find your babies. A beautiful and touching piece!!! Best Wishes!

    This is so very sweet. How wonderful that you have this yet.
    A child's love is the gift of a lifetime.
    I'll bet your children still feel that you love them too.
