(I am relieved that I;'m not the only little girl to pretend to be asleep to avoid an unpleasant reality.)<br />I am so sorry for your losses. You had a right to love and care from your family, and that was taken from you. And the loss of a child is something I cannot even begin to contemplate.<br />Thank you for sharing...

So, you see, as broken as you may feel, you have managed to turn your pain and the darkness that sometimes overcasts your heart into the purest, most amazing love there is, a mother's love.
