Awesome.
Your mother is awesome and God is awesome.
And you write novels, homeschool, care for the disabled and are a Freeper.
I would guess that God had plans to use you and couldn’t let you die.
My youngest kid was diagnosed with one dead kidney and severe hydronephrosis in the other while still in the womb. We were asked if we wanted to abort. Without a second thought, both me and my wife answered “NO”
Tim is now taller than me, is an “A” student and requires no medication. His body absorbed the dead kidney and the remaining kidney has recovered and more than compensates for the missing one. He is by all accounts, a normal kid
Planned parenthood tried to get me to abort my third child. A doctor tried to get me to abort my fourth (I had cmv antibodies in my blood). I didn’t. Terrible experiences.
Without a second thought, you and your wife said No! That statement gave me goosebumps and I was thinking how proud I would be to know you both! And how sweet that your son is now taller than you are!
