Anna, your last post got me thinking a lot. I am thankful for a mother who did keep me and let me live. I had people at work who after getting married got fixed right away so they wouldn't have kids and people around me that put every other kid of theirs up for adoption. Those were options for our mother but she kept us and did the best job she could with circumstances. She talks of how hard it was to leave her little ones with her mother and go off and work at the army depot where she had no relatives or friends and she had never been alone before except the two weeks she went to her fathers at 13 years old.
