Emily is Smiling

Here is the reason why I have been so pitifully sparse with my blogs this past week...

In a heartfelt letter to her newborn child, Meg shares the story of her challenges as a teenage mom at a Christian school.

Before you were born, I was a junior at United Light Christian Academy. The school keeps a few rules: no drinking, no drugs, and no getting pregnant out of wedlock. If a student gets pregnant, she is kicked out of ULCA and sent to public school. However, the father of the baby gets to stay, no questions asked.

I guess it's kind of obvious that I got pregnant. It wasn't planned, but it happened. I'll most likely be kicked out of school. Your father, Ben, is an amazing football player. He has a chance at getting a full-ride scholarship to a prestigious university if he stays on our team. I don't think Ben will let me start a new school without him, but if he leaves ULCA, he's going to lose a great opportunity.

I'm writing to you so that you can learn from my story. Ben and I have made a lot of mistakes in the past and we'll probably make a lot more. When you come into our lives, every regret will fade away.

But this story is about our lives before you.
