The cool, calm night air whirls around me. My tears glisten in the moonlight. Too afraid to even glance back, I keep running. The life I once knew is gone. I will never be able to return, banished from my own home. Anger, hurt and confusion begin to well up inside me. I'm lost. I feel as though the world around me is fading, as I become trapped within myself, as my heart begins building a wall that it will take an eternity to tear down.
I just can't understand, how a family could betray their own daughter. And even worse, how they could blame her for something that she had no control over. How could they take the precious gift of life away, before it was even given a chance? How could they expect her to just "get over it"? It's not so simple.
****************************************
This is the story of my life. It's only the beginning of what is to become the hardest battle of my life. I lost my child on August 18th, 2009, due to my family's selfishness. I'm angry at them, but even more so I'm angry with myself for being so weak and naive that I let them make the decision for me. This story will tell of the challenges I face, not only with the world around me, but also with myself.
