Why I am Here

I am here, though I might not have been. My parents were not married when I was conceived. Abortion wasn't much of an option back then, but it did exist. Although my life has been somewhat of a mess, I think I have a purpose, and that I was not an accident.

When I was 22, I became pregnant; I was not married. I did not have an abortion, though it was repeatedly presented to me as the best option. I am very thankful that I was aware of other, better possibilities.

I am here, though I might not have been. I can't say for sure; but I think having that baby saved my life, again. I believe that he too has a purpose, and was not an accident.
