A Child's Glow (No thanks to you)

In the face of a child lies the love and lessons of those who surround them. I state with pride that there is a great possibility that I have helped put smiles on many young faces. In the early stages of life it is probable that a child brings just as many smiles to those around them as they bring to the child.

I have said before that the birth of a child is nothing short of a miracle. Let me say now that if a child is a miracle-the love surrounding one is a phenomenon. Bonds with children can be be made for so many different amazing reasons. Whether relation, friendship, or just plain connection is felt to a child, the relationship with one is filled with laughter, joy and unconditional love.

Well at least it should be. In any instance I have been apart of, the family of a newborn is overjoyed in the occurrence. Flowers are sent to the hospital only to be followed by an overflowing amount of guests both at the hospital and at home. Houses are decorated in either pink or blue and itty bitty outfits are given in the dozens. I had never known anyone to do anything less.

It is beyond any thought I have ever had, how any family member be it a father, uncle, aunt, grandparent or anyone else - can choose to completely ignore a birth of a child or there after - the existence. Without knowing why or how, I can only speculates that reasons for such hostility can only be because of past events. But there is not a single dilemma that couldn’t be resolved in order to be part of the life of such a precious child.And although you share your love with one, you have left one behind. I can’t imagine a much lower place to be or a more repulsive trait to hold. You must agree since you yourself hide behind lies and can't bare to share the truth.

Now, in the face of that child, the love and the lessons of those who surround her will forever shine. And don’t get it twisted the face is glowing from the love. There is no shortage by any means. And for this reason, it is not the child that sorrow should be felt but for the those who have made the choice not to participate. And to those who have participated, she is better because of it.


Its quite disgusting to me that I am barely family and I CHOSE to be a part of what you CHOSE to ignore.

And damn-are you missing out.
