Well, I just got married and am very happy. One of my bridesmaids was my husband’s cousin who I am very close to and has been very supportive of our relationship. She has three children and literally has been through hell. We have been trying to bring her closer to the Church (frankly any church at this point) to no avail. Her last boyfriend is now in jail for molesting her four year old daughter. Her youngest son has dwarfism and was the product of rape. Her oldest son is 13 and his father who she was married to put a gun to her head and is obviously no longer involved. Her children see us as aunt and uncle. She is in a pretty stable relationship relatively speaking - the kids love him and respect him and there has been talk of marriage. We feel this would be a good thing. After her last pregnancy she was diagnosed with a condition that does not allow her body to absorb iron and she suffers from a type of genetic anemia that can sometimes be life threatening. She was told that any future preganancy could kill her. She told me last night she is seven weeks pregnant. Her boyfriend and her are talking about marriage. I am praying for her. I am also worried. She chose life without a second thought. It makes me wonder why it is so hard for others to do the same.
God bless,
God bless,
for your cousin. Will keep her and her kids in my prayers.
