Who Are We to Judge

 

A little child who has never drawn his first breath- A child who lives a day, a month, maybe a year- A child who finishes school- perhaps marries and then dies … Who is to compare which parents suffer the greatest heartbreak? What about the mother whose breasts are full of milk But has no little angel to feed. What about the dreams that new parents had for their baby- The empty nursery, a constant reminder. An older child who leaves behind a room full of trophies, treasures and momentos- A knife in the heart reminder. What about the children who grew up and had everything to live for… They come from every walk of life. They have babies of their own, which will never get to see their mommy or daddy… All of their goals and dreams gone. My heart breaks for young parents who never had the chance to see their dreams materialize. Their children never quite learned to walk nor talk, start school or go out on their first date. There is no such thing as one loss being greater then another. We are all equally devastated… and therefore, we are forever bonded to one another, in a very special way… that no one else can truly understand.
