Moms are just that important

Today i took Gracie to my Aunt Charlotte's photography studio to have her pictures taken. Taralyn and Kayla Gracie were there. Taralyn and Kyla have had a hard life. They are the daughter's of my cousin who i grew up with. They have been taken away from their mother a number of times and now their mother is in jail. These kids have missed out on so much because of bad parenting yes i said it BAD parenting. I dont care what anybody says about how much they tried they are in jail and now those babies are being bounced around from place to place. Right now they are with Aunt Charlotte but my dad is looking into getting them hopefully on a permeate basis.
Anyway today they were at the photo studio and they were very restless driving Aunt Charlotte and Kim crazy so i offered to take the girls to the park. While we were at he park i realized just how important a mother is to a child. As we were playing Gracie grabbed my leg and said I love you mommy like she often does and i told her i love her to and then i saw the look on the girls faces. You could just see how badly they wanted a mommy to say that to. As the day went on they tried to imitate everything Gracie done to get my attention. They would pretend to hurt themselves so i would kiss and make it better, they would want me to just hold them and tell them i loved them, and they looked surprised when i told them it was ok to be a little afraid to do something because i was right here to catch them. Just simple little things that mean so much to children. It was heart breaking to see how they reacted twards simple acts of love. I know they how love feels because we have a very loving family but they crave a mother's love.
This made me make a promise to myself that i would do everything in my power to make sure my child/children never feel that way. Starting today i am going make an effort to keep myself healthy and not take any unnessary risks that may prevent me from being a mommy.
If you read this please pray that these girls get the mommy they deserve soon. Wrather it be their biological mother or someone willing to take on that responsibility. I hope Daddy and Jennifer can get them. Then they will have a mommy and they will stay with in our family where they belong.
