What a weekend
Beautiful day outside. I love this time of year. It makes you feel good. It's not too hot and not too cold. The sun is shining and yet your not feeling like you have to take a shower after your walk to the mailbox. :)
We had a busy weekend. Bruce and I took the kids to the airshow on Saturday. It's a family tradition for us. Including the fact that I always get a sunburn and Alex always wears earplugs. We have a joke we call the air show salute. We watch the huge crowd as all the hands go up to block the sun. After the air show we couldn't find our car. We kept walking to every white expedition thinking it was ours only to find out that we were in the wrong parking area. I thought I would be smart and hit the panic button on my remote. It turned out to be pretty funny as I was turning on the alarms to several cars and none were mine. As we were walking to one of them thinking it was our car, I noticed that the people had the hood up and were trying to figure out how to shut off the alarm. Ha! I hit the panic button again to shut it off and kept walking like I had no idea what their problem was. My family didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.
At one point of the day one of my boys was talking about a friend of his who has a friend who was headed to the doctor to have an abortion. I looked at my child and thought about how this young girl,probably around his age, would have to live with that decision for the rest of her life. It broke my heart. I asked him if she had told her parents. He didn't know. I asked him why someone hasn't talked her out of it. He said his friend has been trying and is very upset.
As the day wore on I kept thinking about the fact that that poor girl was probably sitting in the room having the proceedure or about to or recovering from it. She's probably terrified and crying or feels like it. She will probably wonder for the rest of her life what her child would have looked like, look at other children about the same age her child would have been, and more.
Out of all the people I know who have had an abortion, and I know several, only one, isn't devistated by the decision and dealing with the pain of it daily.
My heart goes out to that precious life and mother who, for some reason, felt she had no other choice. I'm considering looking online to find something to show my boys what it's all about. I think, if they see the pictures and know what happens. They will be a great support to those who choose life.
Meanwhile, those preciouse babies are dancing in heaven.
Love to you all.
