As a woman who has her own Little Green, I cannot imagine wishing that baby did not
exist despite all the heartache and sorrow brought about by losing him so long ago. Oh
the lessons of love are all around. I shared an amazing,
touching day of revelation yesterday with my beloved and most special Aunt who lost
her husband, soul mate and very best friend earlier this year. She spoke of the
healing power of love and what it means to love someone so much that
you would do anything for them. And this brings me back to my decision to let my son
go... I had no choice really and the only thing that gets me through the day on this
one is that i have to believe that in doing so, I was doing the
ultimate act of giving ... both to him and to his parents. I have to believe that. I
have to believe that he had a chance at a better life than the one I wanted to give
but could not at that time. Love is a healer.

And this loving is a drawing close,
a tuning in, an opening.
Until one perfect moment;
but how can it be expressed?
A receiving, an enfolding
as I cradle you in my arms.
Within my heart, within my soul,
You are my true love.
