Every morning when you wake up you are filled with choices. Do you roll over and go back to sleep? Do you hit the snooze alarm? If so, how many times? Or do you just get up and face the day ahead? What will you wear? What will you eat? ...and on, and on, and on.
Some of these decisions may seem minute, yet did you ever think exactly how many decisions you actually make in a day? I know, why so many questions? Well, questions make you stop and think! Thinking is good!
Hope this brief message leaves you thinking. Just imagine, you might get up tomorrow and make a difference in someone's life! Stay positive!!

When I was 38 years old, my daughter who was 17 and moved in with her father. He lived sic hours from em. My daughter had been devistated over my recent divorce with her step father whom she had known since the age of six. She called me and said, "Mama, I'm pregnant." I was in shock. I had never hurt so much in my life. I felt as if my daughter's life was over. She was a junior in high school. How would she continue school? Her father was on happy either.
The father of the baby who was 23, along with his parents, to their credit, were always actively involved in my daughter's pregnancy. It seemed as if this baby might have a chance at a decent life. My daughter graduated high school on time due to a home schooling program her high school provided for girls who are either too sick to attend or pregnant.
NOw my granddaughter is 6 years old. I can't imagine life without her. My own daughter has earned an Associates Degree in Business and is a very loving mother. As I look back at those first "traumatic" years, I now believe that my granddaughter was put here for a purpose. She has healed her mommy. My daughter's step father died a few years ago, which caused another severe blow to her heart. But my granddaughter's love for her mommy has made her strong. In a sense, I look at my granddaughter as "giving birth" to her mother. Her mother is a new person, and a stronger one as well. They are both my blessings. And that is the choice I have made in my life...To love them both with all my heart!

Sorry for the initial spelling errors in my blog...it should say, "I lived six hours from them".

HI Renni,
What a great story! I do not believe a child's life should be over just because they get pregnant and think it is such an accomplishment and credit to your daughter that she has accomplished so much. What is also nice is that the school she attended had a program for girls who could not attend school. How wonderful that the school did not neglect these girls and instead provided them an education. Yes sometimes babies are blessing even if they are not planned and your granddaughter is one of those wonderful blessings. You raised your daughter right and now she is raising her daughter right too. Congratulations to you, Jeanette
