I watched some, not all, of a highly emotional video although I REALLY hate videos which try to manipulate my emotions which is why I didn’t watch it all and haven’t linked it.

It was a tale of abortion refused, and the year that followed. Stripped of emotional throbbing-voice content, the facts are pretty simple.

The couple had five children already. They had previous drugs and drink issues. Four – FOUR – of the children had already been taken by the state as they were judged unfit parents. She tried to get number six aborted for a very real health issue but was refused. Strike one.

That health issue - she’d fallen pregnant again when her earlier child was three months old. The embryo was embedded in the C-section scar from her last pregnancy which meant chances of carrying to term were non-existent. Chances of life-threatening complications, extreme. Not good enough reason for an abortion. Strike two.

Complications indeed but both mother and child survived emergency premature birth and the child went straight into an incubator. The closest hospital with suitable facilities was an hour away. Mother America dug deep to pay the mother the life-changing $14 a week paid to mums whose kids are in hospital at a distance, to spend as she wished.

The baby was discharged, still needing a feeding tube and specialized care, and did I mention quite severely retarded? on the first birthday of its older sister, presenting serious care issues. Too young and too disabled to be put into day-care facility, but here’s a little problem, both parents work, neither parent eligible for European-style parental leave or support. In fact, it seems the states refusing abortion ironically offer the least support to mothers of newborns. Some American logic for you. Strike three.

Well, I gave up on the video at that point. Even the American who had posted it didn’t seem to realize how shatteringly badly it reflects on you as a supposedly advanced country, it was posted as a heartwarming tale of courage in the face of adversity, to tug at the heartstrings. Aw.



I drew some conclusions, then deleted them. What's the point. Add your own if you feel a need. I do find that my interest in your Big Issues, now I've seen your ignored ones, is diddly squat.

There’s a blog at the moment mocking the way Europe tries to look after its own and hoping America doesn’t go that way. I deleted my comments on that too.

When my husband first died, I visited his grave daily, then weekly, and then, it became just special dates...holidays, his birthday, and our anniversary. I placed a baseball cap at the base of the flower vase, (cut a hole in the middle of it) so, it would fit..It changed with the season..as did the flowers..Bucs, Rays, or Lightning...I purchased a double plot...with his plaque..and a single slab of granite..joined together...where I will one day reside...The slab of granite began cracking..and that is where the flower vase is located..my figuring was when our children visited us..they could place flowers for both of us..Kill two birds with one stone..so to speak. I haven’t been by the cemetery in quite some time..I have since moved further away, and I just did not have the need to, as I once did.

My oldest daughter and I met for brunch today, then went by the cemetery to pay our respects. The crack in the granite has grown so big..that the flower vase is now gone...so, we just laid the flowers on the grave. The cemetery was very busy..Lots of sons and daughters stopping by to see Dad.

I still talked to him...told him I was doing well...and, I think he would be proud of our family..and what a fine example he was to our children...We are who we are, in part because of him.

I al looking for serious relationship , please ask me whats my country , i will explain you ,

Some people count their blessings based on material wealth. I guess there is nothing wrong with that really.

For me, I count my blessings with my health (very active at 67, still do 100 push up a day), but most especially the love of my children, and my friends.

I have decided to go back and live permanently in California as I am now fully retired.

I will be very close to all my children and grandchildren and live very modestly and simply. Of course, I still hope to travel the world as I am accustomed to and just smell the roses and enjoy nature which I love very much.

My youngest daughter offered to drive with me and I am more than thrilled with this adventure.

We are leaving today, it takes at least two days before we get back home. I will not be able to baby sit this blog but thanks all for your read and or comment if any.

A few times a year I say I'm going to do a timeline of everything I can think of. My brother and I were discussing the cars we owned and I can recall all of them and the sequence, but I'm unsure of the year for each car.
I know when I started flying model helicopters, but unsure when I quit, started again, quit and started again.

I recently connected with 2 cousins who retired in Florida. One is about 3 miles from me and his brother about 11 miles away. We are filling in the timeline of family events.

This is going to be an interesting project as they have seen different sides to the same story that my brother and I experienced.
