She is a brave girl to put these thoughts into writing. Depriving a child of half of its history is not right. It is bad enough if a child is conceived by two adults who don't stay together, or when the father dies before the child is born, but for a mother to say (by her action) "your father doesn't matter, I just wanted you" is cruel.
Yes, I agree. And this vignette proves that as always the heart is a lonely hunter and it seeks closure. Sort of proof we are more than a biological occurrence.
