I never thought I'd be thankful for ...

I never thought I'd be thankful for a teenage girl who got pregnant 74 years ago. In those days unwed, pregnant mothers were shamed and sent off to have the baby that was put it up for adoption. After she gave birth to me, I was put in the arms of a loving couple who had adopted me before I was born. I was taken home when I was three days old and had a wonderful life. So a Sin (as it was perceived then) became my blessing.

@retiredteacher How are doing with retirement? As I recall it was difficult. There seems to be a grieving process as we say farewell to many things.
