HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BABIES ARE LOST BY MOTHERS WHO HAVE LOVED THEM EVEN BEFORE CONCEPTION EVERY YEAR. I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THIS BEFORE MY ANGEL WAS BORN INTO HEAVEN. OUR SOCIETY TREATS THESE BABIES AS IF THEY WERE NEVER ALIVE. AND LIKE IT IS A DIRTY WORD TO TALK ABOUT THEM. THAT IN ITSELF IS SO HURTFUL. MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE. OR THEY THINK IF THEY MENTION HER NAME I WILL GET UPSET. BUT I AM ALREADY UPSET AND TRUST ME; I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN HER JUST BECAUSE HER BODY IS GONE. I DO NOT GET A BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR MIRACLE BUT I WILL GET A DEATH CERTIFICATE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? HOW DO YOU DIE IF YOU NEVER LIVED? HOW CAN SHE BE RECOGNIZED IN DEATH BUT NOT IN LIFE? THIS IS ANOTHER OBSTACLE THAT IS UNFAIR AND I WILL ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK MY LITTLE GIRLS NAME. MAYBE BECAUSE THEY NEVER MET HER AND SO SHE WAS NEVER ALIVE TO THEM. BUT SHE WAS ALIVE. AND EVEN IF THAT WAS ONLY INSIDE OF MY WOMB, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT AN UNEDUCATED SOCIETY CAN RIGHTFULLY MINIMIZE HER IMPORTANCE OR HER EXISTENCE. MIRACLE WAS ALIVE. AND SHE WILL LIVE ON BECAUSE HER MOMMY REFUSES TO BE SILENCED.
*I DID MORE RESEARCH ON-LINE AND FOUND THAT EARLIER THIS YEAR MARYLAND BECAME THE NINTH STATE TO PASS THE MISSING ANGELS BILL. THIS ALLOWS PARENTS OF STILLBORNS TO RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH RESULTING IN STILLBIRTH. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN I HAVE MIRACLES IN MY HAND. |
