Why, Mommy? Why did you do it?


Hi Mommy!
Sunday, July 11, 2010 at 1:16pm

Hi, Mommy. I'm your baby. You don't know me yet, I'm only a few
weeks old. You're going to find out about me soon, though, I promise.
Let me tell you some things about me. My name is John, and I've got
beautiful brown eyes and black hair. Well, I don't have it yet, but I
will when I'm born. I'm going to be your only child, and you'll call me
your one and only. I'm going to grow up without a daddy mostly, but we
have each other. We'll help each other, and love each other. I want to
be a doctor when I grow up.

You found out about me today, Mommy! You were so excited, you couldn't
wait to tell everyone. All you could do all day was smile, and life was
perfect. You have a beautiful smile, Mommy. It will be the first face I
will see in my life, and it will be the best thing I see in my life. I
know it already.


Today was the day you told Daddy. You were so excited to tell him about
me! ...He wasn't happy, Mommy. He kind of got angry. I don't think that
you noticed, but he did. He started to talk about something called
wedlock, and money, and bills, and stuff I don't think I understand
yet. You were still happy, though, so it was okay. Then he did
something scary, Mommy. He hit you. I could feel you fall backward, and
your hands flying up to protect me. I was okay... but I was very sad
for you. You were crying then, Mommy. That's a sound I don't like. It
doesn't make me feel good. It made me cry, too. He said sorry after,
and he hugged you again. You forgave him, Mommy, but I'm not sure if I
do. It wasn't right. You say he loves you... why would he hurt you? I
don't like it, Mommy.


Finally, you can see me! Your stomach is a little bit bigger, and
you're so proud of me! You went out with your mommy to buy new clothes,
and you were so so so happy. You sing to me, too. You have the most
beautiful voice in the whole wide world. When you sing is when I'm
happiest. And you talk to me, and I feel safe. So safe. You just wait
and see, Mommy. When I am born I will be perfect just for you. I will
make you proud, and I will love you with all of my heart.


I can move my hands and feet now, Mommy. I do it because you put your
hands on your belly to feel me, and I giggle. You giggle, too. I love
you, Mommy.


Daddy came to see you today, Mommy. I got really scared. He was acting
funny and he wasn't talking right. He said he didn't want you. I don't
know why, but that's what he said. And he hit you again. I got angry,
Mommy. When I grow up I promise I won't let you get hurt! I promise to
protect you. Daddy is bad. I don't care if you think that he is a good
person, I think he's bad. But he hit you, and he said he didn't want
us. He doesn't like me. Why doesn't he like me, Mommy?


You didn't talk to me tonight, Mommy. Is everything okay?


It's been three days since you saw Daddy. You haven't talked to me or
touched me or anything since that. Don't you still love me, Mommy? I
still love you. I think you feel sad. The only time I feel you is when
you sleep. You sleep funny, kind of curled up on your side. And you hug
me with your arms, and I feel safe and warm again. Why don't you do
that when you're awake, any more?

I'm 21 weeks old today, Mommy. Aren't you proud of me? We're going
somewhere today, and it's somewhere new. I'm excited. It looks like a
hospital, too. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, Mommy. Did I tell
you that? I hope you're as excited as I am. I can't wait.


...Mommy, I'm getting scared. Your heart is still beating, but I don't
know what you are thinking. The doctor is talking to you. I think
something's going to happen soon. I'm really, really, really scared,
Mommy. Please tell me you love me. Then I will feel safe again. I love
you!


Mommy, what are they doing to me!? It hurts! Please make them stop! It
feels bad! Please, Mommy, please please help me! Make them stop!


Don't worry Mommy, I'm safe. I'm in heaven with the angels now. They
told me what you did, and they said it's called an abortion.


Why, Mommy? Why did you do it? Don't you love me any more? Why did you
get rid of me? I'm really, really, really sorry if I did something
wrong, Mommy. I love you, Mommy! I love you with all of my heart. Why
don't you love me? What did I do to deserve what they did to me? I want
to live, Mommy! Please! It really, really hurts to see you not care
about me, and not talk to me. Didn't I love you enough? Please say
you'll keep me, Mommy! I want to live smile and watch the clouds and
see your face and grow up and be a doctor. I don't want to be here, I
want you to love me again! I'm really really really sorry if I did
something wrong. I love you!


I love you, Mommy.

Sorry bout the picture. :( I just have to share it. :/
God, welcome this angel in your arms, make him feel your eternal love.

Every abortion is just…
One more heart that was stopped.

Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.


* * My heart broke when I read this. :( I don't wanna judge those moms who resulted to abortion, but its just wrong. Innocent souls, they're helpless, they now nothing, they don't deserve this. :( I've met people who shared the same story, and I give them the same response, "Bakit mo ginawa yun? Sana binuhay mo tapos binigay mo nalang sakin. :(". I love kids, and it hurts to know that most girls nowadays are too scared of responsibility that leads to something unforgivable.

this is heart breaking. I also went through the phase that i didn't know what to do since I had Athan early. I had school and graduation to think about. Luckily, God with his grace gave me the strength. I wish for the same thing to women or teens going through the same thing. Just grace.

@AVA: I'm proud of you, Sis! Really! I may not know how hard it is to actually choose between postponing your future and deal with the baby or pursuing your future and get rid of the baby. It sounds complicated and all but I think its (the baby) a blessing that we, girls should be thankful of. Athan is soooooo lucky to have you as his mom! :D

i even had this thought when I knew I am pregnant with Marise. I have everything back then, but I didn't let evil get through me. I prayed and I just followed what God wants me to do. I love Marise so much. MY only advice to those teens in this situation, do the right thing, even if you think you have to let go of alot of things, or if a lot of people will look down or get mad at you. what matters is you are doing the right thing, and that God is with you all the time. :)MAHIRAP BUT PROMISE, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

@DENISE: Awwwwww! Siguro kahit ako malagay sa ganyang situation magdadalawang isip din ako, but I know what's best for me ad I'll do whatever I think is right, and that is to keep the baby. If ever lang naman na malagay ako sa ganun. I feel super proud and happy na I met you and Ava, at a young age you know your responsibilities and you girls stood up for it! :) Marise is such a cute girl not only that, she lucky to have you as her mom! :D
