My father was the product of a 16 year old pregnacy in 1947. His mother left him at a local families house and has nerver tried to contact him. I think over and over that if she had the option she probably would have aborted him.

He is a wonderful person. Worked as many as three jobs at a time when we were growing up because he loved his family so much. I have never even heard him raise his voice to my mother.

My brother and I both have PhD's in mathematics and my sister has a Master's in teaching. We are all trying our hardest to be worthy of having this man for our father.

If my dad had been aborted how many 'choices' would this woman have made for all the people he has touched?

This is the lesson we all must learn. As in Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life", all people have a direct, or indirect impact on all mankind. Ergo, the "choice" affects many more people than just "them". I'm no Buddhist or Hindu, but I do know that my choices affect more than me.

I'm glad that your Dad survived, and that you did too........"It's a Wonderful Life"!
