My Validation

I’d like to share my story about why I believe my daughter’s babies were gifts from God. First of all, I’d like to say that I have always believed that babies were gifts from God, but when my oldest daughter told me she was pregnant at age 17, I don’t know why that belief got buried in the depths of my mind. I could not find it for the first couple of agonizing weeks of her newly announced news, and all of the family drama that came from it. I was also deeply grieving the loss of my dad, so I was not in any state of mind to hear any more “bad news.” If you’ve experienced the grief of losing someone you love, you know that it causes a crippling pain that lasts for weeks before you even start to feel like you’ll be normal again.

My dad passed a week before Brianne told us she was pregnant. I believe that my mind was not healthy enough at that point to believe in gifts, because I was almost feeling angry at my higher power. I was feeling like someone was really picking on me, and what did I do to deserve all this, anyway? Losing my dad was unbearable, but now my precious little girl is having a baby? I felt like I was drowning in grief! I kept telling myself that I could either get bitter, or I could try to get better. But really, it just came off as blah, blah, blah self-talk. I was stuck in bitter-land … for about a month. It wasn’t until I went with my daughter to her ultrasound appointment that my bitterness turned into better-ness. Seeing that tiny baby brought back my belief that babies are a gift from God, and that this was not happening to us, it was happening for us. It was an instant attitude change, and I started to look forward to the end of the pregnancy so I could hold that cute little baby.

That cute little baby’s name is Brooklyn, and she filled my heart with joy the moment I held her. All of the emptiness I had been feeling from losing my dad was now replaced with abundant joy. I know she came into my life to mend my broken heart. God took my dad from us for some reason, but he also gave us this beautiful little baby to love. I am so thankful she came into our lives when she did. She was the best baby; she always seemed content, she ate and slept on a good schedule, and didn’t cry much. She’s now four and a half as I’m writing this book, and she is still like a little light child. Everywhere she goes, she brings joy, always smiling and having fun. People are always paying compliments about her good behavior and how happy she seems. She still fills my heart with joy when she gets to come to “Mimi’s house.”

Not long after Brooklyn was born, my sister passed away.
