A Letter to My Silent Friend on Roe vs Wade

Shared by permission from my silent friend upon the overturning of Roe vs Wade

You have been on my heart all morning. I remember your tears and agony of soul as you gripped your chest in hopes to still the bitter pain from years ago. You could not rid the stabbing ache in your gut, for comfort only went skin deep. Piercing regret was covered by an invisible scar.

Long ago you were one of "Those People" who had an abortion. Only a few know your darkest secret of nearly fifty years. Thank you for having trusted me with your heart. You are ever in my prayers.

You and I stand together now as Pro Life sisters in the Lord who are grateful for the overturning of Roe vs Wade. We also remember how you chose the only option your mind could wrap around at the time.

Shouts of "If Only" mock you day and night. We both wish you could change that moment. that god awful day. when you could not get up off the table. for the procedure had begun.

I am so sorry

For your loss

Only Heaven knows how deep your grief goes.

Heaven also knows how your baby lives

Eager to be held in your arms and cradled in your love.

Please remember, Dear Friend. You are forgiven.

You are loved.

You will see your baby again.

Thanks again for trusting me,

Mary
