Grieving Aubrey

26 years ago today I paid someone to take the life of my first child. I will grieve my daughter. I will grieve with hope because I will see her again. 
Thank you Lord for your forgiveness and healing after abortion. For you never ending grace and mercy over me. For leading me out of the darkness and into the light. For blessing me with a family that loves and knows and understands. Thank you also Lord for post abortive friends who know the lifelong burden. And other mommies who have lost children and turn to You for comfort in their sorrow and grieve with hope right along with me.
I love you, Aubrey. I am yours and you are mine.

Good Friday Prayer Vigil 2016

A couple of years ago my daughter Sarah started coming with me to the Good Friday Prayer Vigil at the Planned Parenthood in St. Paul, MN. Her first time I explained that on the other side of the barricade there were those that were proabortion. That they sometimes yelled things when they saw my I Regret My Abortion sign. 
Sarah said, "I can hold it for you, Mom."
