A
BirthMother's Letter to Santa
by Jenn M.
Dear Santa,
I know it's been awhile since you heard from
me and you're probably wondering why I've sent this letter.
You see, Santa, I've got a special Christmas wish this year and who better to
ask, than Jolly Ole Saint Nick! Lately, things have a been a little rough. The
constant dull ache that persistently takes over my body is beginning to wear me
down.
Why the ache, you ask? Thousands of women, just like me, feel this same dull
ache every Christmas, and every other holiday for that matter, for we are
birthmothers. It consumes me; I try to fight it and show my holiday cheer, but
it's hard. Some days, it's less intense than others. Constant questions about my
birthson race through my soul with uncertainty because I'm afraid they'll never
be answered.
That's where you come in, Santa! My Christmas wish to you is to ease my fears by
answering a few questions. Will he ever know how much I love him? Does he
remember me? Does he feel like something's missing? Does he know I think about
him even if I can't be with him? Is he happy on Christmas morn? I need to know
these answers and one simple word will answer all of my questions, Santa, and if
you can assure me that word is true, my Christmas wish will be granted. That
word is "Yes." Oh, by the way, if it's not too much trouble, Santa, while you're
doing your investigating to find my answers, could you give him a kiss from me?
If it's not too much to ask, just sprinkle some Christmas cheer into his heart
and let him feel warm. Merry Christmas to you, Santa, and thanks for all your
help!
Yours Truly,
A Birthmother
