This is one of the shadow parts of who I am. I'm feeling this most acutely now that I'm essentially past the potential for childbearing and still single. When my ex-husband abandoned me, he took with him the hope of ever having children, though it would have taken medical intervention. And as the years have gone by, every so often I've been keenly aware of that loss. I think that's why I love the children I work with so much. God is sufficent--more than sufficient--but understands and holds me when I miss my miscarried child, the mother who never mothered me, and the grandmother who did.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the feedback on the poem/prayer, everybody. It means a lot to me.Psalmisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844681463669483309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29493438.post-52646401835585636312008-05-24T18:24:00.000-05:002008-05-24T18:24:00.000-05:00How you doin'?
