30 years ago today I went into labor. I labored so long and hard that they wound up C-sectioning me 36 hours into it... I was a resident of The Edna Gladney Home. I knew the next few days would be the hardest of my life and I was terrified... Scared that I was making a mistake. Scared that I would never get over the pain. Scared that one day my child would be angry with me for my decision but I knew ultimately, I was making the right decision. I knew that I didnt have anything to offer my child. I knew that my child would be loved and cared for. I never held you in my hands but you were always in my heart Ben... I have been blessed that you were raised to be a fine young man and that you are a part of my life now. Thank you Elaine for wanting him, for making him the wonderful man he is today, and for sharing him with me. I know it is a bit early, but happy Birthday Ben...
