Finally peace

As she awoke from sleep, she could feel a presence in the room with her. “Please don’t hate me. I am only 16 and have my whole life ahead of me.”

The voice telling her there was no hatred, only love was only in her head.

“I am too young to be a mother, and although I thought I could give you away, deep down I really could not. I am sorry you died, but this way I will always know where you are. I will be able to talk to you and feel you in my heart. I will know you are happy and in a wonderful place.”

The girl felt a peace and love that she had never felt before. She had gone from boyfriend to boyfriend looking for this, but never finding it. Who would have thought a tiny, premature baby could fill her with the love she had hunted for.
