LETTER TO MY MOTHER
From your unborn child
Dear
Mommy,
I
know everything looks so bleak and dismal, right now, but I beg you to
read this
letter.
Please, my little life depends on it. I just want a second of your time
to talk
with
you while I'm still in this world, just a minute to have my say before
I die, if
that
is the road you choose. Mommy, don't cry ! I might be small, but
I feel, but it
hurts
me when you are sad and unhappy. I love you so much, and wish I could
have
the chance to tell you that someday, BUT??? Do you and Daddy think
of
me
as a burden or a mistake? I don't mean to be. I didn't ask to be here inside
of
you,
but I am, and I like it, and I would love to stay. D id you know
that I have
arms
and legs, now? Did you know that I am moving inside of you. Mommy, I am
just
so small, you can't feel me yet. I guess there is a chance you will never
feel
me,
isn't there? Did you know that my heart is now beating? It beats for my
mommy
and daddy. Aren't you and Daddy proud of me? Don't you love me? Do
you
love me enough to fight for my life? I love the both of you know matter
what
you
decide. Mommy, God said that you have eyes that are very beautiful . He
said
he was going to give me eyes like yours. Are they beautiful and sparkling
like
God said? I wish I could see them. Did you know that God looked down on
this
Earth, and said he was going to find me a very special mother, who would
love
me and protect me? Just think out of all the women on Earth, HE CHOSE
YOU!!
You were the lucky one. (or were you?) I have been feeling so blessed and
happy
knowing you and Daddy are going to raise me and love me, but now
I
can't
help but be scared. I'm frantic that my hopes and dreams of having life
is
slipping
away. I may never have the chance to feel anything.....your love, or
what
it feels like to be a baby, or anything. I fear that the only thing I'll
ever
experience
is being sucked out of your body, having my little body ripped into
tiny
pieces. Mommy, I'm panic-stricken! It will hurt, won't it? Death will be
excruciatingly
painful, won't it? MOMMY, HELP ME, I'M SCARED! PLEASE,
DON'T
LET THEM DO THAT TO ME. DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME AWAY!
MOMMY,
I'M BEGGING YOU, SAVE ME!!!!! have mercy on my little body.
Don't
let me have to endure that kind of torture. If you let me go, would
you
always
wonder what I would have been? Would you wonder what I would have
looked
like? If I was a girl, I wanted to look just like you. (Just think,
when you
look
in the mirror, you could be looking at an older version of what I would
have
looked
like.) When it comes time for my brothers and sisters to come, will you
tell
them about me? I wish I could see them and play with them. I wish I had
the
chance
to help feed and diaper them. I could have been a big help to you. I
wonder
if they will look like me? I'd love to see the sparkle in your eyes the
first
time
you saw me. I would look so cute taking my first steps. Life sure would
be
great.
(BUT, I probably have no future.) Mommy, give me a chance. I know I
would
enrich your life. PLEASE? I don't have but one wish, and that is to have
the
chance to be born, have life, and be held by you. Please let me have that.
If
for
some reason, you think you couldn't love me or care for me, at least give
me
life.
I've heard that babies are in big demand. I bet someone would adopt and
love
me.
Please, give me life. Just in case, I couldn't change your mind, I still
love you
and
forgive you. I just wish you could have given me a life!
LOVE,
YOUR
DARLING THAT ALMOST WAS!
P.S.
I hope that you have a very nice, happy life, I just wish I could have
been
a
part of it. Even though I was only here for eight or nine weeks, thanks
for
giving
me that long. I never got to see you, but at least, I felt you. I'm so
sorry
if
I made your life miserable. Don't let this ruin your life! Will you and
Daddy
think
of me every now and then?
GOOD
BYE FOREVER AND ALWAYS, YOUR ANGEL
