  this afternoon i was sitting in my kitchen watching my three year old son playing.

  he was humming to himself while playing w/trucks.

  i watched his little hands as they moved the toys around, i listened to his sweet little voice.

  You know what was so amazing as I read all these posts is the love that us parents/grandparents have for our children. I think going thru what we had to go thru made each and everyone of us appreciate family all the moreso. I know for me, my children are my life. NOTHING will ever come between me and them. There would be no choice to make.......my children are everything.

  NEVER will we have to tell our children that we would chose a religion over them!!!!

  Yes, I know well what you mean. Yes, we can stop the cycle!!

  I couldn't agree more! How nice to know that we are no longer under the thumb of the WBTS and would have to chose between our faith and our children.

  BTW, here is my little guy, Nathan and me yesterday. I actually caught him long enough for a picture with his mommy......

  Oh.......there is nothing better than that sweet baby scent! I loved it after my babies got their baths and their hair was all fuzzy.......they would snuggle up all warm. Oh.....the memories!

  See.....I knew I wasn't the only parent who had this kind of "moment"!

  And, Smiles, I agree. But you know what it amazing, when you can take the hurt of the past and turn it into love for a child's future to make sure that they never have to go thru that kind of hurt. Breaking the cycle.......

  This afternoon I was sitting in my kitchen watching my three year old son playing. He was humming to himself while playing w/trucks. I watched his little hands as they moved the toys around, I listened to his sweet little voice. Even his little ears and chubby cheeks were cute. He looked up at me and said "I love you up to the sky, mommy" and my heart melted.

  As I sat there I thought about how blessed I am. To have such a wonderful child and know such a pure love.....so innocent. I thought about my own childhood. Wondering if my mother ever had moments like that. Wonder if on any day did her life stop like mine did today? Did she pick me up, and when she hugged me did she smell my hair? Did she feel like her heart was gonna burst for knowing such joy?

  I am not the only parent on this board and I am sure that I am not the only one who has ever had these overwhelming feelings of love for a child. This was not a sad occasion......even when my thoughts turned to my mother. I can change things, I can stop the cycle....my children will never know conditional love and abandonment. They will always know that they are special and someday I will tell him the story about the day that my world stopped just long enough for me to bask in the joys of motherhood.

  We had a very special "santa's helper" offer to help out w/the gifts and as far as I can see, no one was forgotten. Your gifts may not arrive exactly before Christmas Day, but should arrive at everyone's doorstep soon after.

  I sent out an email earlier today and I really believe what I wrote......let me share it with you:

  ....I am just so astounded by this. I have seen so many open their hearts to people on the board.....whether it is a thoughtful post, a listening ear in chat, or simply making someone feel special during the holidays, it really warms my heart and makes me so glad to be part of something so wonderful.

  It is a wonderful life, isn't it?!
