Something to think about

A book I was recently reading said ,that mothers carry cells from their babies long after they are born. The cells live on in the mother's body.

This brings medical assistance, as the cells from babies born ,even decades earlier,retain the power to regenerate, and help the mother fight disease. "She lowered the scientific journal and wept. The knowledge had made her feel closer to her beloved child. She had always felt his spirit and presence; she had held him close in prayer each day since his birth. But to learn that his cells existed in her, that they were still united, mother and child, had felt like the most wonderful gift." Iknow that it feels like my heart has been sectioned off like a pie or something and pieces are removed and are off living their own VERY wonderful lives, or more specifically like my heart itself has been ripped out and is missing parts. Sort of like someone has taken those parts away from me and has stolen them. Why would someone wish to take away the very core of another person? The question then becomes, how to LIVE with so many sections of one,s heart missing? I know there is a leave and cleave premise here with married children, but how should this be applied? to a mother,s heart? And there is a process of growth and maturity which naturally occurs. Well ...it is good to know there are cells of my five babies still circulating in my bloodstream (heart) that noone can take away. And in this way they will always be with me. As well as in my soul, mind and Spirit. Ultimately, they belong to their Creator, so I surrender them to you God in your perfect love. Thank you for the time we have shared.
