So Thankful for a Son He Previously Wanted to Abort

He began to tell us that twenty or so years ago his wife came to him and told him she was pregnant. He had told her to get an abortion, and she had said no. He said now, so many years later, he looks back in thanksgiving for her 'no.' He began to tell us of his son... how responsible and smart he is. He is studying to be an EMT, and comes over and spends time with him. He said the only thing he does not like about him is that his hair is too long and he listens to that 'awful rap.' He said this laughing. He kept telling us of his son. The joy that he found in him and the love he had for him poured out from his expression and words. He repeated to us again how thankful he was for his son and that his wife chose life... how truly ignorant he had been." - Marie
