Life is Short, and Shorter for Some

Life is a real mystery.

I really mean life, as in right to...

Some people have lot's of kids, even ones they don't really want. My daughter's friend's mother found out she was expected... her two children were 15 and 18 at the time. She thought she was about to regain her freedom, and bam. To top it off, her husband had his manhood fixed eight years earlier. Yes, it was his child, but it took a paternity test to make him believe it. Talk about a real turn of events. After all this drama, the baby was a real joy to them both. Thank goodness.

My cousin and her husband married late. They bought the perfect house in the suburbs. And, they want a baby. Really badly. But, it may not happen for them. Unfortunately, she gets pregnant, but something is preventing going beyond the first few months. Yet, they keep trying despite the pain and emotional stress.

I try hard to avoid political topics because I learned long ago you can be friends with people on the opposite side of political lines only as long as you don't discuss them. So, I'm going to stay away from the Right to Life and Right to Choose stuff. If only life was that simple, simple. If only it was really up to you how things turned out.

Well, it's not.

Ask my cousin, who lost another battle with the universe today as this latest pregnancy was deemed nonviable.
