survivor

I found this video of an abortion survivor. As I watched it, Alex was pushing his cart across the living room and Lauren smiles with her toys. It makes me think of the time when we got the choice to end Lauren's life. I was hysterical driving home from Riley. I do most of my good crying in the car. I talked to my sister about ending Lauren's suffering. Ending the pain. Ending her life. What kind of life would she have? I will never forget her next words. She said "God doesn't make mistakes. This is not an accident. You don't want to miss out on God's plans for you and Lauren. Don't miss it." The more I grow to know Lauren the less I see her equipment. The more I would have missed out on meeting "happy Lauren". So glad I'm not missing a single second. Please follow this link... http://vimeo.com/12261423

  1. You fought for your precious daughter when no one else would and when no one would have looked down upon you for ending her suffering. Look at the amazing fighter she has become because of what you have taught her. Even when you told her it was okay to give up, she continued to show how strong she is, just like Momma :)
