Late last night I realized that I would’ve had a 10 year old this month. That seems insane. Partially because I can’t believe it’s been that long and partially because I can’t even begin to imagine how different my life would’ve been. One thing stays constant though: I made the right decision. Despite what some may think, I do not regret my decision and never have.




















Good for you, and I’m glad you had options available to you. <3
That certainly puts things into perspective. I’m glad you are in my neck of the woods and I am thrilling that you have a fulfilling life and a great wife.
10 years is also about as long as we’ve been friends. I’m blessed to know you :)
I’m the exact same boat. I’d stopped thinking about how old this kid would be about two years ago.
I can’t imagine myself with one of my own and I’m sure my pets wouldn’t be too thrilled with me.
A ten year old? It’d be almost as tall as me and talking back all the time. Thank goodness we didn’t. I like my life the way it is.
Ummm, you could have put the child up for adoption where that child and the couple would have been happy! You took the selfish cowardly way out to your ‘mistake’.
I wonder if “Superman” has ever placed a child for adoption. I wonder if he knows the long-term pain of such a decision. I wonder how many “mistake” children he’s adopted himself–including ones who are already in the system because their parents could not care for them.
Adoption’s a good plan for some but not for everyone.
It’s amazing how quickly the time goes. Our little one is in full toddle mode, yet it seems like yesterday that we brought him home. Congratulations to you on 10 years of motherhood, and the amazing experiences it brings.
Re: Superman.. Really?? Let’s all make the world a better place, and if you don’t have anything good to say then don’t say it. xoxoxo.
yes, you did do the right thing. It seems to be common for women to think about the children they didn’t have. It’s normal. Normal, sad, and normal. Abortions should be safe, legal, and rare. Because they are always sad. They are almost always sad.
