Just pause in the day for a "fuck" moment and keep going. Don't know if it helps but at any given moment when you stop for that, you'll be joined by hundreds of us doing the same thing. Even if we haven't had our child taken from us, if we are still fighting that fight or if we simply find ourselves overwhelmed by "regular" motherhood.. we all find that moment in every day.

Just a Dream Away

I would give my life to have you back, said the mom.

I know you would, said her child.

I cry each night for you, said the mom.

And I catch all of your tears, said her child.

I pray for the day that I see you again, said the mom.

Just close your eyes and you can see me, said her child.

I am always just a dream away…

You are the first person who loved me,

And you are the first person I loved.

You were always there when I needed you,

And you always knew when I needed a hug.

I am here for you now, Mom,

In your heart and in your soul.

I did not take your heart with me,

Instead I left mine with you to hold.

One day I will take your hand,

And lead you to paradise.

But until then, my beautiful mother,

When you want to see me,

You only need to close your eyes.

I am always just a dream away…

I remember when Ellie was first diagnosed, I felt so angry that the world outside was still moving - didn't everything know to stop???? And then just realizing that I somehow had to figure out how to move with the world even though inside I had stopped. I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this. This may sound totally crazy and forgive me if it is, but reading your post reminded me of the "Ray of Light" video by Madonna - I'm not a big fan of Madonna and honestly don't even know what the song is about, but I saw the video a long time ago - and it for me seemed to capture what was going on in my mind last year and even still sometimes now - it shows life moving at the speed of light all around - with one person standing in the middle - and it just seems as if it should SLOW DOWN!!!! One day, you will be doing more than breathing and more than just putting one foot in front of the other - but right now there is no rush for that. When you are ready - you will! Your little girl will guide you! <br />ANYHOO - I just wanted to stop in and let you know I am thinking of you today and I am praying for you, dear one!!! We love you -<br />Janice Rolfs Hello my sweet friend!!! I remember when Ellie was first diagnosed, I felt so angry that the world outside was still moving – didn't everything know to stop????
