Why do some of us have sons and daughters and why do some only have daughters or only have sons? I wish I could answer that question myself. God gives us what is best for us...What about us mothers who will never tie a ribbon in our daughter's hair or spend time together in various mother and daughter ways. Why are we not given a daughter? I imagine it can be difficult for the fathers without sons to share all that they know and would love to have that son. Why? I am thankful for my 4 sons but lately have wondered why I was never given a daughter? Why are some not mothers to girls? Am I being idealistic when I think I could do her hair, buy her girlish clothes, sing with her, chat about clothes and baking...and later on her future husband, go dress shopping, etc... Some mothers who do have girls do not have that closeness or 'girl' time together or are just so different that they never connected that way....Just cuddle your daughters more for a moment for us moms who will always be a MOBS and will always wonder what it would have been like to have a girl...or watch my husband have his little princess and someday maybe walk her down the isle...or am I just dreaming of fairytales...
Sara,
ReplyDeleteI love you. Thanks for sharing your heart on this. We all have hidden aches that we have to bring before God, begging Him to ease the weight of them. He is so good to cradle us, and fill those spots that seem empty.
Love,
Jo
I never thought I'd want to have a daughter. Hearing moms talk about their special outings with their daughter or mothers and daughter having a close bond...It made me feel sad. Maybe some day I will be blessed with wonderful daughters-in-law.
