Let's see…where to begin……

Feb 28 2006I remember it just like it was yesterday. The day I became really sick and couldn't get out of the bed for a week. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I thought I was dying. I was 19 and in my second semester sophomore year of college.

I figured I had the flu and that I would just wait to go to the doc. over spring break. Well spring break finally came and found out that I was 6 wks pregnant. I felt nothing, I was numb, didn't know what to think.

I realized that I couldn't keep it so I had to do what I felt was right at the time….so I had an abortion in my 10th wk. I didn't know how miserable I would feel afterwards or how this would haunt me for the rest of my life. I find myself wondering about the life my unborn child would've had and how my life would have turned out.

After that I vowed to myself if I ever got pregnant again I would keep him or her and love them with every ounce of myself.
