He's COMPLETELY perfect in every single way.
The most beautiful child I have ever seen.
I found out I was pregnant on Joshua's eighteenth birthday, July 15, 2010. We wanted to wait until after college to have a baby, but our plans didn't matter. When we found out I was honestly afraid. I didn't know how we'd care for a baby. I didn't know how our parents would react. I didn't want to be a teen mom. But no matter how afraid I was, I knew we were going to keep this baby. I do admit though, I did think of abortion. I thought it'd be best for us, and best for the baby, not having to live with a mother who couldn't support it, with the judgement of friends, family, and strangers. I felt so ashamed I'd even consider the possibility of aborting, but I honestly felt like it was for the best, until I talked to Josh. He was so supportive, so loving, and completely wanting to have our child. He reassured me how much I meant to him, how much he loved me. Even though this wasn't what we planned, he was more than eager to start our family. Because of him we have our son. I dealt with the rude remarks, the judgement, the cruelty. And it was all worth it, it really was. I couldn't feel like this was the right choice more than I already do. Having this baby has made me the happiest I've ever been.
I love you Joshua & Lyric.
You both are my everything,
I never knew love like this before you two.
My heart belongs to you.<3
