Save

I have let some blood this morning. Let go some poison. And the greatest of these is love.

First, know that I don’t regret it. Every moment I spent with you, Inside and out, enriched my spirit and my learning self. I encouraged you to go. I made you go. It was truly best for you. but… when you turned away as I knew you would, a huge chunk of my soul, so shocked and appalled, went with you. I had not expected the barbaric wrenching of my essence with every step you were taken. Now, after some large amount of long countless days and longer nights that have added up to decades I know, have known, that I will get it back, I know I will. I am strong. I also know that no matter what I try to fill this void with over and over it does not matter or for how many years. I am forever changed. But I have work to do, as I have ever since. The fortification and rebuilding of my core are loose ends I retie every day, like strings flying in the breeze... tickling the back of my mind. I will never forget you, Maggie Mae. Your birth mother hopes and prays that you are okay and that God has blessed you in every way. Kathy Adams 2012

Heart aching..Soul wrenching
*Kathy* for such a loss of
that loving part of You, yet
I pray somehow good memories
remain bringing comfort...

I'm so glad you've written about your lost child. I've never had one to lose. But based on the loss I have had, I can see how devastating it must have been. Now it is time to write your heart out about it.

Yes, indeed this was/is a blood-letting. I understand the need to do this, I do my own share of blood-letting. The novelist in me needs to know the whole story, but what you have given me is enough to set my Muse to considering different possibilities. I liked the hell out of this Maggie Mae condensed saga.

Such power in your words here to evoke both love and loss at their most overwhelming. And how they travel together through all of our days hand-in-hand. I pray for those loose ends to be tied and the yawning gap that now exists to be someday filled so as to bring you restored and complete with your Maggie Mae again. May you each be held in the circle of God's love and beneficent provision until that time. The aching is palpable, but equally the reliance on trust. Thank you for sharing and baring so that we may seek to bear with you. Bless you xx
