For people with children........question....... - Page 2

I agree...I never knew what love was, until I had children.

I have a daughter and a son.

They are both so special; I've never met anyone like them before.

When I was a new parent, I read that, "having a child is like having your heart outside your body," and that is true.

Because it isn't just you anymore.

Someone means more to you, than you mean to yourself.

That's a thought provoking question. I would have to say yes. I have 2 daughters. We gave them the best, normal life we could. Did we make mistakes? Yes we did. My eldest is highly successful, has a wonderful husband and 2 boys. They are healthy and happy. My daughter though, has cut her self off from us and I don't know why. I have tried to reach out to no avail. My other daughter was hit by a car January 2016 and died instantly. Life as I knew it ended that day. She was 32. Let's just say my dreams for a close, normal, loving family didn't happen for us. All I ever wanted in life was a family who loved each other. The daughter I was close to is gone and my other daughter seems to not want much to do with us. My grands are far away. Not at all the "plan" I had dreamed of.

@YorkieonmyPillow We are going through really hard times with our daughterr and her husband right now, of course they are leaving us in the dark and refusing to even talk to us which makes the situation even worse, we spend endless days and nights asking what we did to deserve this kind of treatment , I spend my days crying, pulling my hair out, but above all praying for a solution to this situation!

Through all this heartache I could not ever imagine not having our daughter in our lives, she is our world, we love her unconditionally, I think back to all the hugs and kisses, the running to us calling us "Mommy & Daddy", I remember her 1st day of school, attending band concerts & parades, seeing her on stage when she performed in school plays, baking Christmas cookies together and leaving them out for Santa and then singing Christmas carols at the top of our lungs on Christmas Eve as we drove around looking at all the lights, I remember tucking her into bed at night, and all the little things inbetween.

YES I have grey hair because we chose to be parents, YES she has broken our hearts, but she is our little girl no matter how old she is, it is the one thing that we have done in our lives that we will never regret!

Raising my sons, much of it as a single mother, was the most rewarding experience of my life. Met many wonderful people and kids through them who I would never have met otherwise. We taught one another so much! There were times when I thought I would not have the privilege of being a mother. Was truly blessed with two great sons.

I wouldn't change a thing about my life. Whether I stumbled thru it blindly, jumped in thinking "I got this", or was carried thru it with only one set of footprints showing, I am happy, fulfilled, and truly blessed in the life I live.

@Andrewsgrandma I'm so sorry.

That is the one thing I always felt I could not bear.

Great topic. My son and daughter are my greatest blessings. My grandsons also.

They are my heart.

I remember when my daughter was a baby, I realized that whatever happened to her, happened to me.....it was scary and very sobering. I had never loved anyone like that before.
