Thank you, Debi, for sharing this sad but true story. How sad that this happened to your friend. I admire you for stepping out and writing this in her memory.

Oh dear God, Debi, how very tragic! I am so sorry for your loss.

I write once a year for someone too, but not about abuse -- about addiction.

This was so moving, and beautifully done!

Thank you for sharing this with us. Abuse is horrible, I know, my first husband was abusive, and I was able to get away. Not everybody is. As for abortion. I am very much against it. To be a women gave up her bodily rights when she chose to have unprotected sex. Now, there's another life involved.

    Hi Barb, I am right there with you when it comes to abortion. No matter what. Life is special even if it is a rape. You can always adopt it out. But in this case Paula (that is her real name, but used Jane as in Jane doe, so if her kids saw this they wouldn't know if was her I write about.. Anyway you can't possibly know how much your compassionate comments mean to me. Thank you and I really appreciate your kindness, my friend!F

It is an excellent picture fir this poem

Your poem is well written.

It is a sad story for both the mother and the baby.

How can people be so cruel?

Where is their conscience?

Aren't they ashamed of themselves abusing others?

What a tragic story of Jane's married life,
Debi. You did an awesome job sharing it
with the hope it will help others before it's too
late for them. My sincere condolences on
the loss of your beloved friend. Your words
were straight from you heart, they were descriptive,
and meaningful. The rhymes worked well, and
the flow was perfect. The picture was a great addition.
I liked the color scheme, too. You are to be commended
for your thoughtfulness in continuing to share her
story and for the love you gave her and continue to
show.
Thank you for sharing and caring, Jan

I remember the one you wrote last year in her memory. Your ability to find the perfect end rhymes in groups of four is amazing. The line that really got to me?
You kept our baby from its cry.

There are so many murderers who appear to get away with it. Fear not, our God is a god of justice. He loves children and he hates murderers. The thing that guarantees their eventual punishment. They are so sure of their escape from punishment, they will never seek God's forgiveness. This evil man you mentioned will no doubt ever feel the need to be forgiven.

Thank you for honoring your friend this way. Yes, please write every year about all that she went through. It's important to know about the loss of life and how women living in abusive relationships should get out to save themselves and their babies.
