A LETTER FROM AN ABORTED CHILD
Dear Mum
I have decided to talk to you, to let you
know my feelings. I want to know why
you did it. My story is short. I have
stayed inside you for only three months. I was very comfortable and warm. I felt
really protected. I know you are a
special person because I ate the food
you ate. I longed for the day I would see
your face. Nine months was a long time
to wait, but I was determined to wait. I had to be patient. One day I heard you
converse with a man
about me, and at some stage you
quarreled. The man then offered you
some money to get rid of
me. I was happy and prayed that this meant that I would at least see you, the
only person
that I knew in the world: I was wrong. I
had almost forgotten the issues until I
felt something
sharp pierce my tiny ear. I jerked silently and in pain, and asked you to protect
me. Seconds later the object came,
fiercer than
before. My tiny was cut up, starting from
the ears then
arms and legs. It was an agonizing experience, my head was then cut off
and I died.
It took me a whole hour to die, a whole
hour for an innocent three months
human being to be
murdered. I remember the whole incidence vividly and I keep asking
myself, what I did to deserve
that cruel death? Why me? Why did you
do it to me? And why was I not given a
chance to live? I know you are having a
lot of nightmares. You remain guilty for thebeastly act. Please explain to your
God why you committed the
heinous act.
Personally I have forgiven you
though I never lived to see your face. My
journey to back to my creator was safe and I
arrived safely. I was given a red carpet
welcome by an angel. I
am infact, without bitterness.
I still love you mum.
