My first year of marriage,
in hopes of a family of our own .
Was taken away by a stranger in a four wheel carriage,
drunk and our family was gone.
Didn't know it right away for the hospital I was in ,
they didn't even know I was torn from within.
Years passed and then one day pain racked my soul ,
I went to a specialists and he whispered Oh no.
Scared I was for I didn't know what he meant,
then once the test were completed he had me come in.
I must tell you you will never have children of your own ,
I was twenty at the time and felt so very alone.
Years went by I couldn't even be around a baby,
for the tears fell at will heart broken I stayed .
I was dieing inside and people told me maybe ,
you can adopt and find a way .
I was 38 and my niece asked me ,
Aunt Pat I want you there.
To be the first to hold my new baby,
for I know in your heart you care .
I looked at my husband and the tears welled up then I said OK ,
I will be there for you on that faithful day .
All the time in the hospital I worried of what I might do,
but when they brought her out to me I knew.
She told me her name is Patricia the same as yours,
for her mother told me she will be yours in your heart always for sure.
I snuggled her up close and breathed deeply in of the angel that day ,
So small and loving yet she showed me the way .
From that day on I no longer feared I so felt complete,
To know all the children in this world is just like my little girl .
So I am an aunt a grandma a mother and a friend,
and I was put upon this earth for all their hearts to mend.
Author notes
And in the bible it says for all women unable to bare in this world shall be with child in heaven and therefore my child will be a true angel forever more.
Mothers days are the hardest for me its a sad day for I dont hear those footsteps with flowers you see

This is a very heartfelt story. It is sad to see the pain that you went through, but it is nice to see the joy you have for your niece. May the sun always shine on your face.

I feel bad
I wish you could bare a child
I cant believe that they didnt detect it sooner.
Do you think they would have been able to fix it if they would have noticed it sooner?
I know they can with cancer spots but I dont know about accidents and stuff like that...
This is such a tragic yet beautiful story.
I personally want to thank you for sharing it.
