Re-write...new ending!

This morning I started thinking about getting a tattoo. I want a heart broken in four pieces & stitched together...and a vine with 4 yellow rose buds! I quickly sketched it and knew it was perfect.
When I showed this to Jason, he couldn't understand. I explained that as much as a mother loves her babies, they have broken her heart! This is the way is meant to be, but it is her love that stitches it together.
Four yellow rose buds, my four children. Yellow roses have always meant love to me, they are my flower. Three on top and below. The one that is separate is the one who needs me at any moment.

Obadiah
A child crying in my arms because I have told him that his father is not coming to get him as he promised.
A man so broken by the world...so confused and angry...My heart is breaks for him.
I can only pray and love him.

Jason
A child kneeling at my side praying for his sister so, young he can't understand.
A man fallen in love with a women other than me. Becoming a man and leaving his mother.
I can only pray and love him.

Samantha Joy
A child in my arm crying because everything that touches her causes her pain.
A woman, my heart breaks, knowing one day her seizures could lead to her dieing in my arms or worst yet…I will not be there to hold her.
I can only pray and love her.

Georgia Melody
A child of six tearfully asking me "Why didn't she want me?" (Her birth mother)
A woman one day breaking my heart leaving her, because I have learned that this is the way it is suppose to be.
I can only pray and love her.

Yes this is the tattoo I would get.
