  1. I whole heatedly agree RK. Thank you anonymous for sharing. There is always much to be learned from what others have gone through. She managed to say something that I intended to convey, but was unable to show my sincerity. When I hear of someone who has gone through an abortion, or is going to have one, I grieve their loss. To imagine the extreme pain that they must go through to feel that there is no other choice. And for those who make the choice without realizing that there will be pain from it, without knowing that in that choice there is a loss. I grieve for them too.

    I do feel that in many ways the women that have had and will have abortions are victims. Victims of our society neglecting to give them the support that they need to make another choice. Support in knowing that the rapest should not have parental rights. Support in knowing that the people around them will have compassion for them whatever the circumstances.
    Anonymous, I am so sorry for your loss.

  2. Thank you for reading what I wrote, it is a truly hard thing for a woman to go through, expecially when I look at my children now, I could never give any of them up, no matter what, I just hope any woman in the same position I once was in please think about your choice, you may live to regret it as do I, its still a gift from god and as long as you can be a strong woman, you will make it, just huge tight to the ones you love for support, and like I said earlier the baby is half you and thats got to be a good thing, that means you can raise that baby to be a good person and to know what is right and wrong, I know these things now, if only I could have then, but we all make mistakes and like I said I will like with it everyday, but I have came to some sort of peace with it, now all I have to do is forgive myself and to be perfectly honest I am not sure if I can or if I ever will be able to. To be honest I am scared that if my cousin found out she would be upset with me, you see she don't know, I come from a very good family, a very religious family, and yes I know she wouldn't fault me, but its just the thought of feeling ashamed that I have to work through, basically it was on a need to know basis, my Dad knew and brothers and Grandmother, and the courts, but we lived at least 4 hours away from eachother, so my aunt, uncle, and cousins never found out about my rape or abortion, I know I should trust her enough to tell her and my other family members, but besides my immediate family (Which is pro choice) the rest are all pro life, and I understand their position and repect their beliefs as well as my own. I do think there should be guidlines though, Like I said before its not a form of brith control, some women can't have children and my heart aches for them, they would love to have a not wanted child, and I don't feel abortions should be performed after 12 weeks, to me that insaine, most women who have been pregnant will know what I mean when I say "fluttering" you feel that, you feel that baby alive inside you, it shouldn't be allow past that. You all might find it interesting what happened that particullar day to me, my father drove to to the abortion clinic which was 3 hours away, and I am sure most of you have seen what I am talking about, those "let me live" signs on interstates and highways, that is what I got to see on the way there, it killed me, and I knew it was the wrong choice somewhere in my brain, but I didn't speack up and say no, no I want this baby, I should have, but I just wasn't strong enough to fight, my father would have loved that grandbaby and he wouldn't have thought any less of me, he is a very understanding man. So I guess I am hoping that I will save another woman in my shoes the heart ache I had to go through and still do beacuse I made a bad choice, because I couldn't fight, and I should have, us women are alot stronger than we think, alot, we come from a long line of fighters, and I should have, I would fight tooth and nail for my children now, and I should have fought for the unborn then, thank you all for listening to why I think its important women think before they act andwhy I think alot of women to have adortions. Go Bless you all and your familys.

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
