She is the reason I smile and say God Bless!

I'm rubber and you're glue...and your words hurt!
I don't know if I can or should keep doing this. Matt tells me daily that I'm too nice. He says I shouldn't smile at people because they might get the wrong impression. He is worried that I will get hurt one day because I'm the type to carry on a conversation with a complete stranger. Yes, I give the homeless people on the side of the road money. Yes, I smile at everyone that passes me. Yes, I wave at people who cut me off in traffic. Yes, I like to think that I'm a nice person. I started this blog to keep my family and close friends updated with Aralyn. Then, one person shared with another who shared with another. I figured it would be a wonderful way to raise awareness for Trisomy 8 so I started posting new entries on my Facebook. Never once did I think that I would start receiving hate mail. I'm a small town girl. I'm not protesting anything. I'm not into politics. I've never been to jail. I'm just typing and being slammed for it. I don't force anyone to read my blog. It's there for those who want to. I may not be the perfect wife, mother, friend, or Christian for that matter but I'm a person with a heart. Please don't judge me for my choices or bash me for my daughter's journey. We are all here to share God's love. Aralyn Faith is a miracle, a true gift handmade by God. Please keep your ugly thoughts and words to yourself. Like Mama always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.".

I woke up and saw a request for a charity auction for you and your family. I never read, let alone respond to someone I don't know. This is my first time reading your blog, and this is the first thing I've read. I don't even know your story yet. From the title of the blog I see a beautiful little girl with Trisomy 8. I am not sure what that is, but know I had a scare of Trisomy 18 when I was pregnant with my first daughter. Just trust in yourself, in your God, in your daughter... and KNOW she is touching lives. The response to what you are doing was enough to bring me here to read about her.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how thoughtless and cruel people can be. However, know that the people who would send hate mail to you are either young naive children who don't think, or the same type of people who send money to Casey Anthony because they feel sorry for her. You are a mom who loves her little girl and wants the world to know about her struggles. If it helps you and her, then ignore the hate mail and continue.
By all means, continue waving to people who cut you off in traffic... that alone is a lesson we could all learn. I look forward to reading about you beautiful daughter and will pray for you and your family.
I heard about the auction as well and immediately came to your blog to read about your beautiful baby girl. Please continue to be that amazing person that you are and let the hate mail go through one ear out the other. Those cruel people are not worth spending a second of your time!! I feel sorry for those people who are so ignorant and rude. So sorry you had to see nasty comments. Take care sweet Momma and sweet Baby! She is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI didnt hear about an auction. I feel so left out :) People are mean. Not all but some. Someone once tried to make me feel better by saying that my light in me that is Jesus is shining so bright that its making some other people very uncomfortable and thats why they lash out. I dont know why people hate but then I read in the Bible that For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. eph 6:12 It made me think a bit differently about people. Satan hates you, he hates your daughter. You spoke out about your child and how great God is satan is ticked and using people to get you down. I am sorry. Keep strong.
