Terrence, was born on January 31st, 1980. I purposely moved from New York State to the state of Virginia when I was four months pregnant.
I wanted to move to a better environment, where raising a son, especially a Black son, would not be hazardous to his health and well being.
I remember the day he was born just like it was yesterday. I was three weeks over due. My due date was January 10th. Well, since I needed to work as long as possible before his birth, I mentally forced myself to hold him in just long enough to get a few more paychecks.
Three more to be exact and he came 21 days later. My last day at work was Friday and I went into labor on Monday while watching the Young and the Restless.
When he was born later that day, at 11:14 p.m., I was elated and over joyed. You see, I planned to have Terrence. I used his father to get pregnant and then left town. All I wanted was a baby, not him. I was well educated, self-sufficient, and able to take care of myself and my two children. I will always remember that day, the day he was born........ Life was beautiful!
Do you remember the day your son was born?
Let's hear your story too..It will lighten your heart to share it with us.
Peace and Love Always
