Happy Mother’s Day 2014! WALKING IN MY SHOES Author Known to God... I am wearing a pair of shoes—they are ugly shoes— Uncomfortable shoes— I hate my shoes—Each day I wear them and each day I wish I had another pair—Yet, I continue to wear them. I get funny looks, wearing these shoes—they are looks of sympathy—I can tell in others eyes that they are glad these are my shoes and not theirs. Most people, they don't talk about my shoes—to learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable—To truly understand these shoes, you must walk in them—But once you put them on, you can never take them off. I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes—there many pairs in this world—some women are like me and ache daily as they try walking in them—some women learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite so much— Some women have worn these shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt. NO WOMAN DESERVES TO WEAR THESE SHOES. Yet because of these shoes, I am a stronger woman—these shoes have given me the strength to face anything—they have made me who I am—I will forever walk in the shoes of… A WOMAN WHO HAS LOST A CHILD. 22
