One Day

by Jenni Marie   Jun 26, 2013


I'm so sorry, baby.

I kept my promise...but Daddy didn't.
And you're too young to understand or be aware of everything going on between us right now, but please don't ever doubt; not for a single second, mummy's love for you. It envelops every fibre of my being, it burns and consumes, it glows, and it will never fade.

{I love you with all my heart.}

And I promised you, I would become better, I'd be the mommy you needed so desperately...and I did. I became better, I focused on nothing except you, of that moment when I could bring you back home cradled within my arms once more.

But Daddy...daddy doesn't like it, and daddy doesn't want to allow me to reunite with you once more. Oh, sweetheart, darling, beautiful baby boy-I gave up on daddy such a long time ago. But you-you I will never give up on. I'll fight for you until my last dying breath. I love you.

{I. will. always. love. you.}

That moment I pictured will one day become reality and I will walk you back into our home within my arms once again.

...One day.

    You are such a wonderful mom! Really you are. Your pieces are so incredibly sentimental. I wish Connor was old enough to understand as well...it certainly isn't fair. I can't even imagine the emotions you're going through. It's all so personal but you are so strong & it makes me so proud that you bettered your life for your son.. that shows so much character and love. You're such a beautiful person inside& out!

    I dont know what to say, but I felt your love to him and I also felt your strength. You vowed to keep a promise to him and it shows in your words.

    Every kid deserves to be with his mom, and I believe that you will reunite with yours soon.

    God bless him.

    Oh, be still my heart...I cannot even begin to describe those feelings you poured into this piece...the whole write just oozes love, and commitment, and a overwhelming sadness and desperation, but never giving up...wow...I am just...

    I believe that the day will come, and you will have him, you deserve to be with your beautiful child because he belongs with you, he belongs with his dear, wonderful mother, who loves him with all her heart.

    This just tore through me...and wow...

    I love you xx

    Gosh Jenni, I'm almost in tears from reading this!!
    I can only say a few words because I'm speechless....I can feel in every single word your love pouring out for him, and the passion in your heart to protect him and make sure he knows he will never be forgotten.

    As I've said before, never doubt the strength you have as being a mother. The man you've left behind has not broken you, and though he hasn't changed, you've done what's best for your son and that is the most incredible sacrifice ever.

    I hope too that day can come, no, I know it will...Connor deserves that more than anything. You also have given everything for him and people will see that. I pray he will be given fully back to you so you don't have to worry, and he can be in your arms and home forever.

    Love you!
