Really, really lucky ...She is so lucky to have you. Really, really lucky to have people who try to step in and who give her love. These things will help her to live this journey. Believe me. I know. And I know that the wound of a mother leaving you when you are a little girl...well. It never really goes away. Even when she comes back years later, and tells you her "reasons". No reason makes it better. Sometimes it makes you strong, but it also becomes a part of you that always feels tender. I feel for your little friend. It is a club I wish no child ever had to join! As that child, and as a mother now, it make me SO MAD.<BR/>But whatever love you give her blesses her!<BR/><BR/>:)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680903854519503303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-17348046232933327732007-06-26T03:11:00.000-07:002007-06-26T03:11:00.000-07:00I am not sure what blogger did with the comment I ...I am not sure what blogger did with the comment I posted yesterday.

For she is beautiful, and clearly wise at such a tender age... life is only going to get better and better for her as she matures into a lovely lady... and one day become that great mother she always dreamed of.<BR/><BR/>Bless you Dar and big hugs to Patrisha.<BR/>Bx::Bek Geach::https://www.blogger.com/profile/01386896875549282634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-5885842010493412832007-06-25T23:10:00.000-07:002007-06-25T23:10:00.000-07:00My thoughts and prayers go out to this little ange...My thoughts and prayers go out to this little angel who has had to endure way too much heartache at such a young age.

How very sad for her, and traumatic. I hope life hands her better before long and thank heavens she can spend time with you.

It is so good that she has you. I pray for the father and the other siblings as this is such a very hard thing. I loathe rejection in any way, shape or form. She must be feeling that too. The mother needs our prayers too, but she is an adult who makes these choices. I have a very soft heart for this little girl.BJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07327116524831723794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-27743150790101619032007-06-25T12:33:00.000-07:002007-06-25T12:33:00.000-07:00please give her a hug from me ... xoxplease give her a hug from me ... xoxdaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471659782256693603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-46235947171849686032007-06-25T08:14:00.000-07:002007-06-25T08:14:00.000-07:00Hard lessons to learn as such a young age.Hard lessons to learn as such a young age.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862496090402365429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-61102999053462655602007-06-25T08:08:00.000-07:002007-06-25T08:08:00.000-07:00You are both blessed to have each other.

Hard to have faith in "that which does not kill us only makes us stronger", because neglect does puncture our souls, and lets in a darkness that can smother.<BR/><BR/>However, having her father, having you and your loving family to hold her is a candle by which prayers are answered. The prayer of tears, laughter, and coming through the other side of childhood with love and hope.<BR/><BR/>Bless you for all the strength, and support you shower upon those who cross your path. The world can only prosper from your presence and caring.PixieDusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255641743057365106noreply@blogger.com
