Ppl thought my mom should abort me bc biracial families were rare at the time. "What about the child?" was a popular refrain. Well, I am the the child ppl asked "What about the child?" about& my life was hard growing up but I certainly enjoyed being alive & continue to do so
I put myself thru college, married a nice boy & we have two lovely children, who also presumably enjoy being alive. I've traveled, enjoyed an eclectic career path, volunteered, made good friends...my life has been full&certainly worth living. What about the child?...
Well ok...what about the child? What about the adult that child will become and the children that adult will bear, and the children they in turn will bear? What is the measure of a life worth living? Comfort? Wealth? Pain-free? That's not even a life, it's just an existence.
