Trying to prayerfully relax before our dinner tonight…want to be sure to give a full scope of what we do here at Lumina and the desire to grow certain parts of the ministry,  being the days for siblings and men into weekends…ran across this from a site that was begun by a sibling who came to our day last year…such a confirmation of where we hope to go. (Thanks Renee..I am SO proud of you!)

A Father Writes To His Aborted Son

I
was a 14 year old young boy. I was dating my first and only girlfriend I
had ever had in my life. We started “dating” when I was 10 years old.
About 1 year earlier, around 13 years old, we had become sexually active
with each other. We were much too young to be doing this but our
hormones and desires just led us down this path. One night while having
sex a bad thing happened. I got her pregnant. About 3 months later a
tragedy happened, she had an abortion. Clearly, I had a major role in
this; I got a young girl pregnant. Unfortunately, I had another major
role in this tragedy, I was greatly influential in convincing your
mother to abort you (just writing these words my makes my heart cry
out). She was very young as well, 15 years old. When we found out she
was pregnant we were kind of in shock. We really did not know what to
do. In the beginning we tried not to even talk about it very much
because we were confused and completely unsure of the future. However,
after a while we had to address our circumstances. I know deep in my
heart that your mother did not want to have an abortion. But she was
afraid. At that time what she needed was for me to step up and assure
her that we would get through this and give her strength. What I did was
step up and convince her that she should have an abortion.
