My Story, My Song Continued

My Story Cont...

 After disclosing that my biological Father never knew I existed, I asked my Mother if she had any        means of finding or contacting him. Fortunately,  his last name was uncommon and allowed her search for him to be narrow, expeditious, and successful.  Meeting my biological Father face-to-face at age 28 for the first time in my life answered many unsettling questions for me. I had previously had many curiosities about my petite stature compared to my other siblings. I knew that my fashion sense and entrepreneurial aspirations were credited to my Mother. Moreover, I was still quite inquisitive about where my strong fearless ambitions and distinctive overt bubbly personality derived from. These, I learned, were genetic traits that stemmed predominantly from my Father's gene pool.


Despite the first ten years of our geographically distant communication and in-person interactions being somewhat strange and aloof at times, my biological Father and I began to cultivate a growing "father and daughter" relationship. I must confess, however. that the circumstances surrounding my conception contributed to me experiencing years of mental and emotional trauma.  Determined to reconcile the vacillation of my feelings and find closure, I finally attributed my being alive today to the Mercy of GOD and the wise decision of my 19 year old Mother adamantly choosing to give birth           to me over having me aborted.

Without experiential foreknowledge of sexual relations or having and incline about the enormous responsibilities attached to teen-motherhood, I finally had to accept that my  Mother had truly forgiven my Father for disrupting her life aspirations and causing her to postpone pursuing her dreams. If I were going to move forward with my own life's pursuits, I would have to forgive and forget the shame my Father imposed upon me and my Mother while never denying the settling of our truth.  Ironically, to his credit, my Father was at least passionately mesmerized with my mother at the time of his indiscretion. To date, he is a long-time repentant Christian who served as a lead-Deacon in his local church.


For over 30 years now, my Mother, Father, and I have all enjoyed the benefits of mutual forgiveness, so much so, that my Father came and gave me away when I got married. The ultimate reward for all three of us is the consistency of making mutual contributions to maintaining good healthy and respect-filled relationships. I share this story of true forgiveness, relationship reconciliation, and family restoration as a means to encourage other families in similar situations to seek resolve and live in peace with one another.

A PLEA TO HELP END ABORTION

Because the abortion rate in America continues to skyrocket out of control, I was inspired to write an original pro-life song entitled, "Let Me Live" A Cry from the Womb. As I recently revisited the song for commercial publishing considerations, I realized that the message in the song was the musical interpretation of my real life testimony. In retrospect, I now believe that I was indeed the unborn child crying out from my own mother's womb begging her to "let me live!" ("Let Me Live" A Cry from the Womb "song and song narrative are soon to be released sometime during the Winter of 2021)


Life is designed for people to live in it! Please join the Pro-Life fight for protecting innocent unborn babies from the genocide of Abortion. There are numerous pro-life organizations who need  your support.
