- To Emily -

Of everything I have written ...out of everything beautiful I have created -- you are my most amazing masterpiece! A beautiful work of art, woven by the hand of God -- from my body you came, in my heart you forever reside.

Time and space may separate us, though I will always be but one heartbeat away. You were never unwanted or unloved - you can never be forgotten nor replaced -- I hold a unique celebration for you in my heart.

My love for you can never be "relinquished" for my love does not belong only to me, but to us -

Your Mother by birth,

These are the most beautiful words I have ever read on the subject of a first mom's love for her child. They helped me to understand so many things... I would love to read the article you refer to if you can direct me as to where to get a copy. Thank you.
