Hello Don,
I’m not sure if you are the right person but I’m pretty sure you might be. In January 2004 I had an appointment to terminate my pregnancy, on my 16th birthday. I was doing it for all the wrong reasons, I was scared and embarrassed of what people were going to think of me. I had always been “the good kid.” I never got into trouble and tried to always be a good person. I ended up pregnant at 16 though, with twins. My mom, my boyfriend (the dad), and myself drove to the clinic. You and a group were there yelling out why I shouldn’t do it. I walked up to the front door and stood there crying. I never even touched the handle of the door. I knew I wasn’t doing it because I truly wanted to, so I walked back to the car with my boyfriend. My mom talked to you a few minutes and then we left.
My daughters was born 6 months later, a month premature. One of my twins passed away an hour and a half after birth, but that was God’s choice. Two years later I passed by there and you were there with your group. You met my daughter and gave me your number. Fast forward to 2020, my daughter will be turning 16 years old next month.
I now have two girls, my other one will be 11 in a couple of months. Last night we were going through a couple of my memory boxes I have and came across the little book “two love letters” with your phone number and an address on the back. I googled the address and found this email address. I hope this is you. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for helping me realize that at that moment I was about to do something that was not right. You are one of the reasons my daughter is here today. A reason I get to love her and be loved by her. A reason I had the opportunity to watch the person I created grow and turn into the beautiful young lady that she is today. My daughter has such a gentle heart. She’s very loving and respectful. She has a good head on her shoulders and an innocent mind. She loves to sing and loves animals. She truly is one of a kind.
Thank you.
