34.) Babies are the only thing that can make me squeal from cuteness. If there is ever a cute baby in the same room as me, I need to touch it. I will try and make he/she smile from the other side of the room. My mother and I go crazy when we see babies. They are for sure my #1 on things that will make my heart melt.

Several years after my mother died, I got to know the truth

I was an unwanted child Declared undesirable by conception Abortion was prohibited by law A little child, a little body Two small ears like clam shells Sky blue eyes A beautiful little girl, so kind and good Why didn't you love me? 26.10.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved 6 TO 8 - MELODY OF SADNESS 3 place in the contest Poetry Contest - Nette Onclaud

I like this. And you placed with it too. You know I told my sister when I was 11-12 that I was never getting married or having kids. I think it has more to do with oneself. Not the baby. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Norway? I know most holidays are American. hugs :)
