I found this today and it had me in tears so I hope the Author does not mind me sharing...

Are you still a mother if your baby’s not with you?

I thought of you and closed my eyes, and prayed to God today. I asked what makes a mother, and I know I heard Him say:

A mother has a baby, This we know is true. But, God, can you be a mother, when your baby’s not with you.

Yes, you can He replied, with confidence in His voice. I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime, and others for a day and some I send to feel your womb, but there’s no need to stay.

I just don’t understand this God, I want my baby here. He took his breath and cleared his throat, and then I saw a tear.

I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile with other children who say - we go to earth and learn our lessons of love and life and fear. My mommy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here. I feel so lucky to have a mom who had so much love for me. I learned my lessons very quickly my mommy set me free. I miss my mommy oh so much but I visit her each day.

When she goes to sleep on her pillows is where I lay. I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear“Mommy don’t be sad, today I’m your baby and I’m here”.

So you see my dear sweet one, your children are okay. Your babies are here in my home, they’ll be at heavens gate for you. So now you see what makes a mother. Its the feeling in your heart. It’s the love you had so much of right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother until their time is done. They’ll be up here with me one day and you’ll know that you’re the best one.
