Let me tell you are a true story real quick. I was dating a gentleman off and on for several years. I had become pregnant and he asked me not to keep it. I weighted my options and felt the decision would be best not to. It pained me to take that step yet I took it anyway. Years went by and one day he takes me to the side and says he has something to tell me. According to him he had gotten a young lady pregnant a few years back and their agreement was she would abort the baby. As it turned out she unlike me had a change of heart and had the baby anyway. The baby was now a toddler who stood tall and played happily. He introduced me to his child seeing that child broke my heart to pieces. He couldn’t have one with me I was so selfish to think only of myself. For a while I resented that child despite being a parent myself. That child reminded me of his deception a secret he kept hidden for years which led me to believe he still had a relationship with the child’s mother.

I still do not know whether or not they are together but I let that go a long time along with the feeling that made me cringe even at the mere mention of the child’s name. Ladies these children did not ask us to come here, they are innocent and just want us to be happy. Why can’t we return the favor? Stop being so selfish and allow your heart to welcome that child in your life.
