Hello everyone, It's nice to meet you. I'm your Other Mother, but if you wish you could simply call me Mother, or Mommy, Mom...I don't like Ma very much it sounds rather rough don't you think? Mama is lovely though.

Of coarse Mother.

That's my dear sweet Keramon, he's such a good boy.

Thank you Mother.

Now where was I? Oh yes. It breaks my heart to think of how this world has stolen you all away from your families. So many of you must feel very alone. Even with the families you've made here there really is no substitute is there?

Well, if any of you need anything, if you want to talk or need a hug, a warm meal a light snack, maybe you'd like to play a game?

Mother Loves games.

I do very much. And I love all of you. I can't wait to meet you all and I hope you'll visit me soon.

By letting your Other Mother love you, care for you.

You've been taking care of yourself for so long haven't you? And others I bet. Making your Mother so proud. I only wish I could have been around to help...to spare you the pain you've endured.

S-Since I was nine... I'm thirty-three right now...

Then why did you leave me?

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

I never left you honey, I was always watching over you, wishing so desperately I could help, could do more then simply cheer you on silently.

You've become such a strong woman, but the hole in your heart is almost too much to bear sometimes isn't it?

Why the hell did you leave me to nearly die from getting red water splashed on me and making my limbs blow off?! Why weren't you around for that?! Why did Auntie Katharina have to die?! Why did anyone have to die?!

Death is a cruel and powerful force...

...but despite all that pain and suffering look at the woman you've become.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

... stop it... Just stop it.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

Please sweetie...don't be upset. I couldn't stand to hurt you anymore then you've already suffered. I only want to make up for all you've lost.

How do you make up all the blood I've shed, all the tears I've cried, all the wounds I've suffered? How?

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

Time and love. Dedication.

I can only offer you all I am...please don't hate me for things that were beyond my control.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

How can I trust you?

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

In time perhaps it will come. I won't force you...but don't be afraid.

I won't leave you, I promise.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I should trust you.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

Then don't.

Not until you're ready.

Years of pain and suffering have put a shield around your heart to protect it...and that's both sad and important. It hurts me to think that you have so much trouble letting down that shield knowing what pain you've endured that put it there.

But...I want you to be safe. And those with an open and loving heart are most often those who get hurt first.

I... I...
