I Love My Kids Very Much

My Lil' Angels

By: 1sweetloralei
Written on February 11th, 2011
My kids mean the world to me and I love them with all my heart, soul, and being.  My daughter is 4 and my son is 2.  Right now my daughter is sitting next to me as I write this and chattering on about which of our pets love her.  Her sweet little voice is like music to my ears (except when she is whining or screaming at her brother).  Without them realizing it they have gotten me through some of the darkest days of my life.  My daughter was 15 mos when my mom died and it devastated me to my soul.  My mom's death trigger a very deep depression in me that made me want to end my life.  The thing that kept me here was my daughter and the fact that I didn't want to leave her motherless like I am.  I was 6 mos pregnant when my dad had a heart attack and died in front of my daughter and I in the nursing home he was in at the time.  She was 26 mos at the time.  It was  very traumatic.  Again, still grieving my mom, my depression worsens and I don't want feel this pain but I know I need to go on for not only my daughter but now my son who isn't even born yet.  I truly believe that are Angels sent from God to help me through my darkest days and I will cherish them forever.

    I understand that kids are special. Having 2 girls myself (ages 25 & 23) is special. I think back to when they were little and it was wonderful.. Being a parent is great but there is no book guiding you along the way.
    You, I'm sure you are a good MOM Crowbar

    I was young when I father died he was a diabedic that was also an alcoholic went blind from drink and missing his morning injections and beat on his kids, My mother also had a thing for beating on my older brother and I and after she remarried let my stepfather kick me out of the house at 16 so Good Old Mom and I were never really close in fact the day I married my first wife mom got her on the side and told her she better get a good job because I was mentaly retarded (her words) and would never be able to support her. she died about 15 years ago and I went home for her funerial my brothers and sister were crying and I new they would be lost without her but I couldn't feel anything for her and shortly after putting her in the ground my son who never knew her and I got back in the truck and drove back to Louisiana, I never what any of my kids to feel like that and I feel bad when I here about a family with so much love, I wish I would have known that with my parents. But I know I have that love with my kids. thanks for sharing and I know how hard it can be some times to put things like that into words, and I'm glad that you had the love of your parents even if just for a little while..

    Loralei,

    My condolences and my heart go out to you. Loss can be so painful. I'm glad your angels saved you. I have a 15 month old and he also means the world to me!

    I also have a daughter (6) and son (4)..they might be like 2 little rascals especially if they fight over flimsy things like toys or jealousy on who do I love more? but still angels for mine eyes.



    children's innocent, pure and unconditional love are the source of strength of their mother.



    Btw, thanks for choosing mine as best answer. I can't penetrate thru your whiteboard due to your privacy restriction.

    Loralei, I hope you will heal from your pain soon. I am so sorry about everything you have been through. You sound like a strong woman though. That should help.

    “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” The unconditional love from our kids gives us that strength and our love for them gives us courage we never knew we had to face what we have to. I'm sorry for the pain you are in.
