Heart Melting Moments

[CaringMomma]

Amethist- What a wonderful thread. I love reading all the heart warming stories because they warm my heart as well.

Back in October my daughter went to a halloween party and watched a scary movie with her friends. She told me that it really scared her and that she was having scary dreams. I talked with her at length about how these movies are phony and that she had nothing to be afraid of. We had a little chat each night before she went to bed.

She, also, was having trouble at school with someone who was bullying her. It was just a really rough month for her.

It took several weeks to wash her mind of the scary images from the movie and to encourage her through the bullying. The bullying didn't last too long. It finally stopped because she ignored them.

Anyway, for several nights she crawled into bed with me and hubby in the middle of the night and I would wake up to find her sleeping next to me. It warms my heart that she still feels safe and comforted by me at this age. I'm not sure how much longer it will last, but I will enjoy every last moment.

All hubby wished for today was to sit and have his first cuddle with our 4 month old granddaughter.

He got his wish and she fell asleep in his arms. He said it was better than any of the Christmas presents he has received.

When my youngest granddaughter spent the night here, in the morning when she woke up she would crawl in my lap and cuddle me for the longest time. I treasure those times. Now when we see each other and we are leaving one another we give hugs and the love sign. It is so precious.

Ever since my now 4 year old grandson could talk his called me "Bumma", every time I see him he looks up and says "are you ok Bumma?". And then I am ok.

When my great grandnephew gave me a very strong hug and, later a kiss, beaming with each. So sweet to get a hug and kiss with such innocence without him being forced. Touched my heart immensely knowing he did it of his own free will. They encouraged him but it didn't take much and he didn't respond to everyone. I was blessed.

I worked at a country store/animal rehab for a year. I got to go and pick up a baby fawn and bring her to the rehab. I also got to feed a baby hummingbird. I took care of all kinds of animals. But those two experiences touched me the most. I love this thread. It is making me remember all kinds of good things.

Oh Gizmo, ((((((((hugs))))).

Dear amethist, that's beautiful. I love your pics! :) I hope that it makes so much of what you've gone through, and gone through together, worthwhile. I don't think your H could have had that moment (in more ways than one) without you. You have a beautiful family (and you are beautiful too. :) ) Thanks for that.

when I was first diagnosed with Ptsd I discovered that both of my children had been molested one time each. I tried to commit suicide but I got scared and decided to live so I called 911. I took care of that problem. I said yes I wanted to live.

So I got my kids the best therapist I could and I was so drained and exhausted. The kids therapist would take me into a room where there was a bed and she would cover me with a blanket and take the kids for two hours for their sessions. I will never forget her for her kindness. That meant so much to me. I was so broken down, drained, and exhausted. It gave me little pockets of peace and rest.

I love to see my little 6 month old bilby, snuggle into his Daddy's arms. He rests his head on his shoulder, smiles to himself, his little arm around his big strong Daddy's arm, clinging on like a little baby koala. It is beautiful and I love to see them like that.

I needed my daughter to drive me to a hospital I had never been to before. She dropped everything and she drove me and she stayed with me all day while my husband was in the hospital. I so appreciate her dropping everything to do that for me. We were there all day and did not get back until it was dark. I am so exhausted and I am so grateful to my daughter. What a sweetheart she is. I will have to do something nice for her.
