   You have to tell yourself that you are still someone's mother when you decide to be kind to  someone unknown because you decided to be kind to someone not related by blood or not  born out of your womb…. 

   So what if you lost an unborn baby you still held him in your heart forever 

   So what if you lost your beloved child you are still connected with your hearts. 

   So what if you are a step mother or a motherly figure some small soul is still looking up to you  with those little eyes of trust. 

   So what if you are not communicating with your own mom she can still hear you wherever you  are. 

   We all have our own unique paths and destinies that we will walk even if we are alone and it  will be a glorious path for sure.
