The Twins

The twins came by, being around them always makes me happy. I will never understand how women can say they will be happy without having kids. I mean I know I have no choice in the matter and many women face that reality every day. But for those that actively seek to not have kids I will never understand.

I remember when the twins were born what it was like holding them. Having them napping on top of me was the best feeling in the world. Even watching them grow up is a joy. When they took their first steps to talking, they are some of the best memories I have.

For me it’s even better because I don’t remember my past. So when the twins were born it was like the first time I got to hold my niece or nephew. Now that isn’t true because I have an older niece but the truth is I don’t remember the memories with her.

Though I don’t remember them I know she was extremely important to me. I have heard stories of how close we were but the illness took that all from me.

Being with the twins even for an hour or two reminds me each day is precious. We may never get another chance to enjoy being around the ones we love. Life is extremely short and goes by so fast. The best moments are just being able to enjoy sharing silly moments with each other.

Even if that’s trying on different wigs or playing GTA, for me those are the best moments. ~Emma~

Abortion

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Abortion: I once believed it was the right of the woman to make that choice. Though I was always a Christian and didn’t believe it should be used in most cases, just for rape the usual talking points, you know them. Well when my brother and his girlfriend which would be his wife later on had their first child. They had the child young, anyway it was seeing her born that changed my life. I was young only in my own teens when I saw this beautiful baby. She was the most adorable beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes upon. She had stolen my heart away my beautiful niece. It was in that day I no longer believed it was the right of any woman to take a child’s life. If I could love a baby that much and she wasn’t my own, no baby should ever not exist because someone else decided their fate. This is something I believe in my core and will never change my mind. All babies deserve to live. The fact that we even live in a society that doesn’t protect babies makes this a very dark time period in our history.
