My
husband and I have been told on many occasions that we have adorable children,
and I am starting to believe this more and more every day.
Our
children pull people in. When we are out with them you can see the many eyes of
admiration that they get. Some people even come up to you and start talking to
the children, some totally ignoring you the parents and some polite enough to
say a few words to us as well. Because of this, I love to dress them up and take
them out.
While
pondering how to further pen this post, the question arise, how can we fall so
in love with our children, the minute they are presented to us after birth,
then turnaround and hurt them. What really happens? I am then comforted in thinking
that something has to be wrong with the individual. Something has to happen to
make them snap, financial problems, mental problems etc. Case in point, the Sandy Hook shooting in December, which we now know that the person had mental issues. There just has to be some
disconnect. With this said, I figure for persons like myself who had infertility challenges and had such a difficult time having children, it would be much harder for us to hurt these precious
little ones given to us.
Just
last evening our children were playing on the floor in front of us and my
husband remarked, “our legacy.” This is where I got the title of this post. Our
children are our greatest legacy indeed and it is sad that they are subjected
to such hurt from the persons who should be molding and positioning them to be
better adults, thus making them better leaders for the tomorrow they will soon
inherit from us.
Just
sharing my thoughts for today.
