] You are the only one in the world that can un-make you her mother, by ceasing to be it.
I found that to be so true during my struggles. When my daughter went to live with her birthmom I wondered if I were really her mom. I wondered if I were just a babysitter all those years. It was very painful. Little by little my pondering led me to realize I was her mom. I raised her with my morals and values. I loved and nurtured her and did all the things mothers do. I loved when she didn't want me in her life for awhile. She was confused and wondered where she fit in and one day she came to the place where she felt she belonged............Home. She called a short time ago and said, "I just called to say I love you because I don't think I ever said that." The title of "MOM" is feeling comfortable and right once again. We both had to find our place and we did.
We cried many sad tears Lynn. We comforted each other and helped each other to go on when we felt the journey was too painful. Now we are both experiencing the joy in having our girls back in our lives. We kept our hearts open. Thankfully.
