Dear friends, As kind as it is, I do not need sympathy. I did not post here looking to make you feel sad or sorry for me. I dont feel sorry for me, at all. In fact I feel blessed. Hugely blessed. Of course I miss her incredibly, but I am celebrating all the gifts I have and had thanks to my short time with India- Scarlett. If I had waited to build a relationship with her until after she was born, yes that would have been a loss, 9 months tragically wasted. But I didnt. I was present. I was with her and I enjoyed her fully. I was not waiting for when she was born for motherhood to start. It starts at conception and I embraced and lived that with her and it was beautiful. Why is that considered a loss? We are all going to die, thats inevitable. 9 weeks, 9 months, 9 years, 90 years old, you can be sure that it will happen. But celebrating the moments we share here and now, together, thats a choice. Celebrating what is, rather than what isnt, that is a legacy she has left me that I can take with me, wherever I go. It is a one way ticket to freedom and joy and loving what is. I have gained more than anyone could ever imagine. So please, please, dont feel sorry for me. Cherish your kids. Cherish your loved ones and celebrate what you have. Right now. I am most definitely celebrating what I have had and what I have thanks to 9 months with my Bodhisattva daughter, Miss India-Scarlett, my greatest teacher, my Guru.
