My Son’s Birth
During the winter of 2008, I was in the biggest shock of my life. I found out I was pregnant with my first child. It was a scary, joyful, happy ride; it was the greatest blessing ever.

Our parents’ reactions were pretty weird. My boyfriends’ mom was happy but worried. She was happy because her first grandchild was on the way. She was scared because we were young and not financially set. My mom on the other hand was upset, disappointed and angry at both of us. She wanted me to wait...
