Children Are Precious Gifts (RIP Xavier)

I am a 44 year old woman. I love life and living,and try to look for the good in everyone. I have been happily married for 19 years. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children who are the light of my life, and my pride and joy. I love all children, I believe they are precious gifts from God. If only we could all see things through the eyes of a child. They are amazed by even little things that may seem insignificant to us. I have had the unfortunate experience to lose a child that was in my life for a short while. His life was taken at the hands of an abuser. He was not my child but one who was very near and dear to my heart. I will never forget him or his beautiful little smile, he has left footprints on my heart.(You can read his story in my blogs taken from the times herald record) Children are our future. They should be loved,cherished,and protected. They are so helpless and dependent on us for their care. I believe we need stiffer laws and penalties against abusers. Child abuse seems to have become an epidemic and we all need to do whatever we can to stop it! cartoon layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
