As I began this new quest the fear begins to rise.
Turmoil and strife arises.
As the emptiness I felt is now filled with an unexplainable emotion.
My heart is in tune with my body.
I push forward knowing that the release will soon be over

The gentle sound softens my emotions.
I touch the new born life I've brought forth a feeling of warmth taking me over
The gentle touch
A soft cry
The release of the fear
A feeling of protection
I push forward knowing that I must save the life I created.

As you begin to grow I know that you are my world
You are my soul
The work is just beginning

I was young, dumb and caught up in every woman's fantacy to have a precious little family, getting married, sharing same home, that type of thing, and my old man had reasured it all, even when paternity was at doubt.

It was all broken promises that never came to live. The only thing that did, was my daughter birth paper showing him as the father. That was surely a big mistake, unfortunately, that opened the door to hell.

What I didn't know was, he already had my fantasy, in reality, with some other lady, who I heard supposingly, can't have children, and they wants to make my one and only babygirl theirs.

When we see 911 we now think of the Twin Towers and the events that changed our lives. Before that horrific day 911 was a plea for help.

I drove into work listening to my favorite morning radio show. The interrupted news broad cast made my heart race. The description of the first plan crashing into the tower brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the heart ache and pain in the familiar voices. Pulling into the parking lot, I thought of my students. How do you explain the tragic events that are unfolding?

The halls are filled with silent students holding each other. The images on the TV splash across our hearts. I hear a scream as Katie falls to the floor in agonizing terror. I race to her and grab her shoulders she sobs and says “My father is coming home today. He’s in Boston. They said the plane was hijacked from Boston.” Fear enters my body. I feel her pain. Her father is dead. Students are gathering around her. Reassurance is voiced from many.

I was standing at the very end of the boat. All the entertainment was going on at the front, but I really didn’t care. I just needed to think. It was so loud I could barely even hear my own thoughts. I just wanted to make it all stop. I squeeze my eyes shut and then I couldn’t hear a thing. I looked all around and people were cheering still, but no noise. I couldn’t believe it. Then I hear a voice in the distance. “Aqua. Come to me Aqua.” It was almost a whisper. I look around the boat, but it was no one. Then someone screamed,

“Dolphin!” I looked up into the ocean and started to take pictures like everyone else. Then I look down into my camera and notice that they weren’t real. They all had a metal rod stoke to the bottom of them, except for one of them. It looked different from all the others. Then I noticed it was real and looking straight at me. Its gaze caught me and I couldn’t break away. There eyes were both in pain and fear. The color was light ice blue, like crystals. Then that voice again,

Okay so this might be my first time ever typing anything so people could read. I guess this letter is a mindful one. I've had a hard life. Not a violent one, but painful. If you had one person you know that every impossible thing happen to them then; that's me. I sound probably over exaggerating or a brat. I hope I don't. I don't want to go one about how bad my life is while there are others out there hurting. I cry almost every night and still trying to figure out who I can trust in my life. It's suppose to happen to everyone in there life's, but honestly. Not all this pain. Trying to hold it in from everyone else.
