Letter To My Seed
Feb 25th
Hey there,
I know we haven’t officially met. In fact, we don’t even know what each other looks like yet. But, ever since I heard about you, all I’ve been able to do is think… about you.
You are probably wondering who I am as well. I don’t blame you, I mean, you are going be stuck with me for the rest of your life. Have no fear, though. I’m actually pretty cool. My family is amazing and my friends are quite awesome – if I must say so myself. All those around me already love you just as much as I do (well, maybe not as much… but close) and they can’t wait to finally meet you.
I’ve taken the opportunity to make a little list of who I am. It’s sort of a cheat sheet for you, so that you won’t be too lost when we finally meet. Here goes nothing, here goes my everything:
I am
a daughter
a sister
an aunt
a friend
a lover
a dreamer
a believer
a dancer
a workaholic
a nerd
a clown
a multi-tasker
a perfectionist
a designer
a bartender
a poet
a procrastinator
an alchemist
a traveler
a supporter
a cook
a student of life
and a teacher of love…
among other things
I spend lots of time
sitting on the moon
smiling
reminiscing about the past
smiling
enjoying the present
and looking forward to the future
Smiling.
Many say I’ve sucked the life out of life
I say… thank you, I’ve tried!
I’m not perfect
But, I like to think that my imperfections are
My mind wanders to places I’ve never been
Yet, I know them all too well
I’ve loved and lost
and loved again
My heart has been bruised… many times
And I admit, I’ve bruised a few hearts too
I’ve traveled places near and far
Yet, I still have an entire life to live
A life to give
I love to live
I live to love
Always and forever…
Those that know me can tell you
My love is unconditional, real… eternal
I go by the name of Pam
In a nutshell, this is me
But, you… you my unborn child
You, can call me, Mommy!!
Anxiously waiting for your arrival…
♥ Your Mom-To-Be
My Seed at 14 Weeks
Today… Was A Beautiful Day
Mar 11th
Today was a beautiful day
The sun rose
The birds flew
The stars shined
The flowers bloomed
The moon beamed
The earth… SHOOK
Today was a beautiful day
Until I felt the world move at my feet
Today, the world moved under my feet
Not because I fell in love at first sight
Or because my heart was broken into – yet again
Not because I won the lottery
Or because I delivered my first child
Not because I lost my job
Or because my breath was taken away
Today
My mother’s land, my motherland, moved
I guess because it had to
That’s the only thing that would make sense – kind of
Two minutes -
One hundred and twenty
Very.
Long.
Seconds.
Homes
and
Lives
and
Loves
and
Dreams
All now BROKEN
But, today was a beautiful day.
Tears were shed
Fear was met
Loves were lost
My mother, sister, I…
My family
My friends
My people
We all trembled
Yet we tried to be still
As still as one can be
When Mother Nature decides to shake things up
As still as we could be
In hopes that our silent prayers kissed by tears
Would speak louder than words
I can’t say I remember much
But I do know that Today… WAS
Today IS
A beautiful day
Why?
Well, I’m alive… Aren’t I?
