Reflection on a still growing love

I read post after post on here about loss and missing those that were dear to us. The majority of these posts are about babies that barely got the chance to enjoy our world and some that never felt the comfort and safety of our arms. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain in a mother's heart when she goes to look in on her sleeping babe to discover that his sleep is eternal. It breaks my heart. I don't know what I would do if I had to face a life without my girls.

I thank the stars every day that my girls are still here. I may not like when they are sick and coughing or crying but they are coughing and crying. They are still here and can be safe in my arms. I can still dry their tears.

It is overwhelming the love I have for them. Even when they tell me that I don't love them or the dreaded day when I hear "I hate you" come from their mouths and hear their doors slam. I know that my love will still be there and I will still be thankful that they are here.

I am sorry for everyone's loss but what about those that are still here? I know that grief is eternal. I see it in people's eyes everyday. I see the holes that are left in a mother's heart. My heart still glows full of love. Let it shine.
