Poor thing. Glad he was rescued. I hate how it was assumed that the dog was abandoned though. He could have gotten loose and couldn’t be found.

Love this!

I kept my baby, even though I was sixteen, even though I didn’t know how I would,

I kept my baby, even when everyone told me “kids shouldn’t have kids” or that I’d “ruin my life”,

I kept my baby.
I knew some would think I slept around, that I was promiscuous.

I knew that girls would talk and boys would listen, but I still kept my baby.

I knew there was a pill that could ‘take it all away’. “My ‘problems’ could be gone tomorrow if I just took it today.” But I knew that was a lie anyway, so I kept my baby.

And because I kept my baby, it’s assumed I hate everyone who made a different choice. I don’t. I love them.

And I know how scared they were because I was, too. I know how these girls (and myself) were misinformed when we were told it’s impossible.

It’s not.

I knew it would take a lot of trust and big faith when I kept my baby. But when I did, this crazy thing happened.

It didn’t even ruin my life. Not in any way.

Now I have a baby and a family.

I have a baby and a college degree.

I have a husband and even more babies.

I’ve raised a baby and still chased my own dreams.

So yes, I’ve done some things the hard way, and I’ve grown up faster than I *had* to, and I’ve struggled along the way, but when I look at my sweet “baby” boy,
I’m so glad that

I kept my baby.
