Motherhood
Fearful, uncertain, alone...
Travel through what feels a lifetime
Sharing thoughts, fears and dreams with you
From a distance
Only birth can transcend.
Relieved, confident, joined...
Together as mother and son
Blessing the moment of your arrival From a closeness
Only death can surpass.

Anna Mae & Billy...my Mother & my son!
Photo taken 1/14/72
It saddens me that this is the only grandchild my Mother held.
Her life was taken
(by her husband)
before my siblings had their children.
Mom called Billy her "Miracle Baby"
I can only guess that it was because eventually
my teen pregnancy
brought me back home to her,
as I had run away from home months before my pregnancy.
With Ruthi, Billy, at age 3, attended his
Mema's funeral.
EnJOY the slideshow o' my son growin' up!

Prayer quilt for William - click above to add a prayer!
My son struggles with his addiction to heroin,
And all that comes to family & friends o'er his addiction.
I believe that with God all things truly are possible
And I never doubt the power o' prayer!
So please, visit his quilt & add your prayer square,
and read my poem for him...
"Hoped-For New Direction"
From the bottom o' my mother's heart...I thank you. |
