Sometimes all we can do is pray for them, even though we long to do so much more.Karen M.

You just so close to how much they need real love and touch and you realize there are so many who don't have it. So painful.<br /><br />That e.e. cummings poem is one of my favorites.

I...Once again, your writing has moved me to tears. I wish I had the guts to write as honestly as you do. I did not feel a connection to my daughter when she was born, and in fact my husband noticed I wasn't holding her except for when I had to feed her and quickly tried to remedy that. Everything has changed since then. I love her so intensely that I'm pretty sure I could not go on living if anything happened to her. I too am sensitive to the sad and wrong things in life. I will probably never forget a baby that I saw at the mall on oxygen when I was pregnant. Or the baby at my daughters doctors office that was on oxygen. It is so sad to see innocent children suffering. I am so blessed to have a child that is perfectly healthy and that we can provide for.Sharon Wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564452243522205297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863554872321330259.post-63923471058293897582010-09-17T09:07:11.631-06:002010-09-17T09:07:11.631-06:00yes, i know this feeling. once you have a child of...yes, i know this feeling. once you have a child of your own there's no such thing as an abstract child. i'm feeling it again as a grandma, a new round of risky love, and the rippling out of that love. that's what love does. <br /><br />i love your voice.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284855262535595879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863554872321330259.post-78806421039025270562010-09-17T06:45:02.307-06:002010-09-17T06:45:02.307-06:00Aww.

I don't know where it comes from or what to do with it. Pray? Find a baby to love on?
