Believe it or not, though shared t...Hi Winnifred, <br /><br />Believe it or not, though shared times with my Mother were rare, I do try and remember some of the good memories she created. She had a laugh that could crack glass. <br /><br />Hi Michelle, <br /><br />It took a long time for me to ache for the little me too! Thanks for your caring and for sticking with your kids thru all of your own journey. <br /><br />Hello LOL, <br /><br />I am so sorry for the early loss of your Mother. I can imagine the empty feelings you must have felt during important periods of your life. It explains the love you have for your own daughter so much. <br /><br />Hello again Audrey, <br /><br />At that time, those kinds of agencies were so understaffed it wasn't funny. I remember one of our workers distinctly. Her name was Mrs. O'Brien. I can still remember the pain in her own face when she came to visit. She knew what was going on was BS which probably explains why she didn't last very long. <br /><br />Hi Lori, <br /><br />What you are doing is a great thing. Not everybody has the opportunity to do what you are going to do. Right now, the more I am trying to respond to all of your comments, I'm feeling more guilt than relief. It just seems I cast my pain into all of your hearts and that was not my intention. <br /><br />Hi Natalie, <br /><br />It has indeed been a gift. But in ways you cannot imagine. After reading these words, it makes me believe that you will all love your children even more than you thought possible. Mom's are the soul of the Universe.Bogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621010857974456199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226313511003221518.post-14967625721398310612009-05-11T07:14:00.000-04:002009-05-11T07:14:00.000-04:00Oh, my heart hurts, and my ears are ringing with t...Oh, my heart hurts, and my ears are ringing with the sound of your little Bogey voice. Isn't it just a little gift, that we all are here to share your pain, and to love you up.I am glad we met.xx♥Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919764140075852854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226313511003221518.post-51390841017419474792009-05-11T00:58:00.000-04:002009-05-11T00:58:00.000-04:00I am hoping too you will find some healing in the ...I am hoping too you will find some healing in the telling. I am no help at all because my heart breaks. For you and every child that is without its Mother. My husband is so worried about us going to this orphange(now a week away)he knows how difficult this will be for me. I don't matter. It's the little ones. Think about them. Oh dear.

I often wonder, not that it matters at this point, how the social service agency workers and the foster families felt when they witnessed the intensity of sorrow that children like you experienced. It is one of the great dilemnas of our culture - how to protect children without causing further damage.<br />I am so sorry that you, your brother and your sister had to endure such heartbreaking sadness. And I am glad that you have found the blogosphere to share your story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226313511003221518.post-50267474345587531452009-05-10T21:56:00.000-04:002009-05-10T21:56:00.000-04:00I can't imagine what that must have been like.

These times are so precious for children and parents they stay with you forever.<br /><br />It must be hard to relive these memories but pretty cathartic I imagine.<br /><br />When my Mam died it was only the happy memories that got me through it. Still hard after nearly forty years. How much more difficult for you to lose your Mam at such an age when you couldn't understand what was happening. As you say it scars you. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your story.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.com
