The Hell?

Yesterday was just one of the very best, very worst days. I chaperoned my son's second grade class at the Min. History museum. Fun but very stressfully chasing a bunch of hyper 8 year olds on their big day out. Driving home I'm feeling all good because I am able to do this and enjoy the precious time with my exceptional child. Walk in my door and open my mail- a birth announcement of my hubbies first grandchild- and a picture of a beautiful baby girl. Immediate intense baby envy hits me like a cannon ball to my gut. Go to answering machine and listen to me girlfriend cry about the abortion she just had decided on having. Talked to her along time or more less listened to her justify why she is having choosing to have the life she planned to carry, cut out of her body because giving birth is too "hard". This is a married adult woman who is in the upper income bracket and has extended family wanting to help. Showing empathy to her unreasonable selfishness was very difficult for me to do. I know I am not to judge other peoples decisions and as much as I think she is doing a horrific thing, I could not flat out tell her how wrong a choice she was making. I know in the past I have made obviously unwise major choices in my life that others probly wanted to scream and shake me over because I just wouldn't see a different outcome due my tunnel vision, but if they had, would I have listened? I know what to some degree my friend was feeling, but what the hell was she thinking?
