We thought of you and closed our eyes; and prayed to God today. We asked what makes a Mommy and a Daddy and we know we heard him say....

A Mommy and a Daddy have a baby, this we know is true. But God, can you be a parent, when your baby's not with you? Yes, you can, he replied with a confidence in his voice. I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime; and others for a day and some I send to feel your womb but there's no need to stay. We just don't understand this, God, we want our baby here. He took a breath and cleared his throat; and then we saw a tear. I wish I could show you, what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile with other children and say, "we go to Earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear, my Mommy and Daddy loved me oh so much...I got to come straight here...I feel so lucky to have a Mom and Dad, who had so much love for me. I learned my lesson very quickly, my parents set me free. I miss my Mommy and Daddy oh so much; but I visit them each day. When they go to sleep at night, on their pillow is where I lay! I stroke their hair and kiss their cheek and whisper in their ears, Mommy and Daddy, don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here." So you see, my dear sweet ones, your children are okay. Your babies are here in my home; and this is where they'll stay. They'll wait for you with me, until your lesson is through and on the day that you'll come home; they'll be at the gate for you. So, now you see what makes you a Mommy and a Daddy, it's the feeling in your hearts, it's the love you had so much of; right from the very start. Through some on Earth may not realize you are a Mommy and Daddy, they'll be
up with me one day; and you
know you're the best ones.
