I have been contemplating a name change here on the blog! I have never really been satisfied with Everything's Coming Up Daisies. SO I have a poll on the side of my blog with some Ideas if you could go vote on what you think is a good name. Or if you have any Ideas please share them.
Thank you :)

Small miracles
Fran over at small bird has started a blog hop! We are suppose to share what keeps up going, what gives us hope! Problem with this for me is that I don't have any hope right now. I am in lack of it. I have been hopeless for so long, right now I am not sure how I can get it back!
SO for this months post I will share with you what keeps me going after the loss of Kenner. Knowing that one day I will see him. That will get to raise him and be his mother. Also my sweet puppy Meli, is what keeps me going. I have said this before and I will say it again, Without her I don't know where I would be. Last and not least my Husband keeps me going. Keeps me Strong, Keeps me motivated. I love him SO much!!
What is your small miracle?

What Makes a mother?
So I was at work yesterday, I just moved desks. I am sitting with a new team. The lady next to me asks if I have children. SO this is how it went down.
Me: yes I have one.
Her: Oh so how old.
Me: he would have been 2 but he passed away at birth
Her: oh so you don't have any child
Me: yes I do he live for two hours
Her: so you don't have kids.
Me: yes I do one
Her: OK so in a LDS standpoint you have children.
UMMM I shut up then, Being LDS has noting to do with it. I gave birth he is my child. Because he didn't live does not mean I don't have any children.
What Makes a Mother
I thought of you and closed my eyes.
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a mother and
I know I heard him say,
A mother has a baby.
This we know is true.
But God, can you be a mother
when your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can, He replied
with confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies.
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
and others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
but there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this. God,
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat
and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you
what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
with other children and say,
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of life and love and fear.
My Mommy loved me, Oh so much,
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom
who had so much love for me,
I learned my lesson very quickly.
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy, Oh so much,
but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep,
on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear,
'Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'"
So you see, my dear sweet one,
your children are okay.
Your babies are here in MY home
and this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with ME
until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home,
they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother—
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of,
right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize you are a Mother,
until their time is done.
They'll be up here with ME one day,
and know you're the best one.
