I have days at work that are really sad in a consuming kind of way. Yesterday was one of those days. Where I look at Ellie and cannot imagine how anyone could ever hurt a child. It makes me sick and it overwhelms me. And it breaks my heart. I have always been bothered by child abuse/neglect. But since Ellie, it feels so incredibly personal. It reminds me to hold her a little tighter and to be a little more thankful. I will continue to hope that our society will soon figure out that being a parent is a privilege, not a right. Because some days it is all just too much.
you have a beautiful heart Jen. I appreciate your reminder of what a blessing children are to this earth. what a neat gift to be a parent and yet some choose to completely miss what it's all about.
