a kid doesn't do anything to deserve not having her mom's love because a kid doesn't have to do anything to earn it.
it's a given, right? you have a precious child, you fall in love with it, you want the best for it for its entire life. Right?
isn't that the way it is supposed to be?
a child should never sob over the fact that she has never felt her mother love her before. she should never say the words, "it'd be easier if she had died." or "i never did anything." or "it just hurts." or "she doesn't want to be part of my life, and i will never let her back in."
that should never happen.
and why does it?
i don't understand. and it makes me so angry. how could you do that, or rather not do that, if we are talking about loving your child?
i just don't understand.
why are these kids born into families where the mother is strung out on crack?
where the mom is totally mental and they are watching their father die of cancer and being rushed to the hospital for choking up blood?
where they discover they have gonorrhea and their family they live with abuses them?
where they live with their grandparents because their mother is messed up and their grandfather loses his job so they go without food in order to feed the girls, and try to hide it from the girls, but of course they know everything.
where the mother dies of cancer when the girl is eleven.
where there are shootings and stabbings and break-ins outside their homes every night.
where they live across the street from or beside condemned houses that still are spray painted from the storm that turned all of their lives upside down.
where all they are taught is fight and defend.
where school systems completely suck and teach them nothing but what they cannot do.
why? it just is not fair.
but while i can't see past tomorrow, god is making history.
and we have had four girls get saved.
and it is one at a time, right? one at a time...
right.
