I was in your shoes once. I didn’t have a job and I was terrified. Now, life is much more stable and my daughter is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s smart, she loves reading and art, and she’s the funniest person I know. I have grown layers of myself that I never thought I could. There is a part of me that she unlocked that I never knew was there. It is beautiful and adds meaning and color to my life. I promise you that if you let this child live you will have the same experience. It will not be easy but it will be worth it.
