Heaven Knows the Little Sister You Never Knew
She tearfully told him, "I'm sorry, but I'm pregnant."
" What do you want me to do?" " I don't know!"
" What would your mother and father think?" "I can't
tell them!"They were both teenagers in high school.
Jean went to an abortion clinic and ended a precious
life. She then lied to her boyfriend by telling him, she
fell down the stairs and lost the baby. He was heartbroken.
They slowly drifted apart. Their terrible loss had torn
their hearts, and was responsible for their breakup.
The years went by and Jean got married. She than gave
birth to a little girl. She named Mary. Mary had beautiful
blue eyes she was born healthy and was very beautiful.
Jean bonded with Mary like loving mother's do. Jean
and her husband cherished Mary. She love playing with
her and dressing her up. Giving her baths, and Mary
enjoyed playing with her favorite ducky. She sing lullaby's
at night and put her to sleep. Mary had a little peach color
blanket that she would rub with her little fingers, and go
to sleep with.
When Mary was four. She was yelling MOMMY! With a
big smile with open arms to give mommy a hug, and a kiss.
Jean felt an infinite love for her precious child. Mary and
mommy became inseparable.
One day as Jean was feeding Mary. Mary looked at Jean
with her beautiful blue eyes and said, " I love you mommy."
Instantly Jean realized what she had done, years ago as a
teenager. She fell on the floor sobbing uncontrollably!
Thoughts raced through her mind thinking she had killed an
innocent child as precious as Mary." Oh what have I done!"
Sobbing, "I'm so soooorrrrryyyy!" " I'm so soooorrrrryyy!"
"Please foooorgive me!" She looked up at her baby and
Mary told her mommy I love you mommy. She then got up
from the floor and picked Mary up and held her till her arms
were numb. Trying to restrain her tears, so Mary wouldn't see,
mommy crying. She then tearfully said to Mary. " Heaven
knows the little sister you never knew." Jean then held her
baby again close to her bosom, releasing teardrops of her
inner pain, and begged God for forgiveness.
