Yesterday, Ron was watching some videos on youtube and I cruised by and thought I'd see what he was watching and it was horrible. It was a news story about a 20 year old father who had thrown his 11 week old daughter off the bed kicked her in the head and then picked her up and shook her.
I just don't see how anyone could possibly do that to their own child. Especially, a baby that young, that helpless, that fragile. I don't need to know that things like this happen in the world, it effects me for days after seeing or hearing about something like that.
Babies are such a gift, so trusting and innocent. I look at my girls and it causes me physical pain to think of anyone ever doing something like that to them. I love my children, there have been times that I've been so many times in my 4 years as a mother that my children have made me crazy, where I didn't think I could take it anymore. Annies colic when she was a baby when she'd sceam and scream for hours and hours each and every night for hours on end. Emi's getting into everything and dumping out all my makeup and coloring on the walls and throwing food all over the carpet. But they're children, and children make messes and ruin our things...it's part of the territory.
I love babies, they're so soft, so sweet, so very innocent. I love the way they smell and I love their little chubby toes and the dimples on their knuckles. I love their round little faces and their toothless grins. I'm addicted to babies! I wish I could just freeze Eden at this age and keep her a little baby forever.
It's such a sad tought to think that with so much wickedness in the world that a baby can't even be safe in her own home...
