"IT'S A GIRL!!"
I opened up the email and there it was ... plain as day, 3 simple words "IT'S A GIRL"
All capital letters, surely they represented her excitement? The turning point.
I knew it wouldn't take long for the Mother of her unwed daughter to come around and accept the gift that God had blessed their family with.
A new Baby is on it's way; shocking at first, was the news. There were many tears shed by this Mother. There were days of silence between the two. She needed time to fully absorb the changes to come and the fact that her daughter simply has no way of knowing whats in store for her, as this Mother worked her entire life to shelter her own girls from the reality of the "tough times."
Any Mother only wants "more" for her children in life than what she had or what she lived. This Mother has lived that life, she is all to aware of the oh so many joys and equally aware of the sometimes unbearable hardships and sorrows that a single Mother must endure.
This Mother, she has worn both hats, The Mom & the Dad, and worn them well. Her daughters are amazing young ladies, her strength and perseverance has paid off. I speak from experience on this matter as I myself have traveled that road ... it's a road only single Mothers can share, know and fully appreciate.
The swirl of emotion that came with the "news" had this Mother searching her soul and desperately reaching out for her own Mothers comfort, who, unfortunately, has long left this world ... so instead she prayed to her beloved Mother. This is where she found her peace.
Harmony in the home has once again resumed.
This Grandmother to-be is indulging in all the excitement surrounding her, her glowing daughter, that blossoming belly, maternity clothes shopping, & planning for the days ahead with much joy.
"Letting go" has freed her to accept, once again, what life has placed before her.
A new chapter in her life has just opened; one of many more to come.
This Mother, This Grandmother to-be, This Beautiful Woman, My Friend~~ I share my happy thoughts with and for you.
"IT'S A GIRL!!" will be lucky to have a woman like you in her life!
