I bought a new phone because my other one was several years old and finally got to the point where it would not work. This snazzy phone wasn't too expensive, but it does have a camera, the ability to download ringtones and apps, can record voice memos, and has a bigger memory for everything. Now keep in mind, I searched my cell phone company's site before I bought this to make sure the camera would work and I could send pic messages. Even with my pay-as-you-go plan, the website says that I can and it gives the cost. Getting the phone was not easy because the saleswoman was a world class snot. My family have been with this company for well over 10 years and have paid thousands of dollars for their phones and services. She couldn't even get my 100+ contact list to transfer (which means I had to do it by hand when I got home.)
I get it home and play with it, thrilled that I have a new phone that actually works and that I can actually do cool things with and after taking some really cute pictures, I try to send them. I get error after error.
Finally, I call customer service and the woman tells me that they do not offer pic texting at this time.
What? That isn't what the website says! Why would you sell me a phone that I can't use most of the cool features on? Why would your website tell me how much it costs for my plan to send pic messages? How the hell am I going to get these pics off my phone! I can't transfer them from phone to computer and I can't send them.
Why did you sell me a phone when I made it very clear that I was thrilled to be able to send pics with it when you KNEW that I can't send pics at all or transfer them to any other device? Not to mention the fact that I was thrilled that I could FINALLY download apps and ringtones, which I can't do! Or how about the fact that I put close to a $100 on my account so I could have money to do the above..stating that's why I was putting that much money on it. Oh and how about when someone else sends me a pic, I have to go online to get it...when it could come straight to my phone so I can view it!
My phone has been my lifeline the last 8 months. I seriously can't believe that something so simple turned into a pain in my butt.

Just because...
Just because there isn't a child in my arms doesn't mean there aren't any in my heart...
Just because there won't be a baby shower, doesn't mean I haven't had my babies.
Just because there is no living child calling me mommy doesn't mean that I'm not one.
Just because you don't know that I have Angel Babies, doesn't mean that I don't.
Just because you fail to include my babies that are in heaven, that you never met, doesn't mean they didn't exist. They do.
Just because you wish to not recognize the fact that your own flesh and blood has had losses greater than most people can even imagine, does not mean that I feel the same way.
Just because you didn't carry them or hear their heartbeats or get the BFP or have that one little ray of hope doesn't mean that I didn't.
Just because you don't see me cry or feel my pain and heartache, doesn't mean that I don't cry or have a broken heart.
Just because your kids are alive doesn't mean that I don't care or that I don't love them as much as I always have.
Just because I'm human and I AM a mother DOES mean that it hurts when I hear that someone is pregnant, that someone has had a baby, that someone has that one thing that I want but may never have and it sucks like hell when someone does something to a child because they don't love him or her or don't want it.
Why am I saying this? Because this weekend sucks...the next month or so is going to suck...and I HAVE to look into the eyes of children that are the ages of my angel babies and I HAVE to look into the eyes of family of kids that have been horribly abused or murdered and know that even though it sucks for me...it could be worse for me.
My love for my babies will always be there...even if I can never hold them in my arms. In the midst of my pain, I will always know that there are some people in my life that will never hold their babies again and that they were taken way too early because of murderers that have no love for a human life, including their own flesh and blood and someone they 'claim' to love.
