Am I too Sensitive??




Am I too sensitive?? Maybe...

Yesterday I posted something that bothered me on my Facebook wall...I didn't call anyone out by name, just expressing my feelings about what I saw on my news feed and how I found it disturbing..a "friend" posted on their wall in retaliation I guess, that perhaps "people" (me) can't handle the truth and should go live on Sesame Street...the something that bothered me as I scrolled  through my news feed was a picture of an 18 week fetus....this person was trying to make a point regarding abortion...

What this person doesn't understand, is that what I was trying to say is that the picture bothered me...not his abortion stance. I lost a baby at 12 weeks and though I am sure I was never meant to see him, I did, and that little lifeless being was burned into my memory forever...I really think anyone in my shoes would feel the same way and it's really easy to hide behind others and say "I know lots of friends and even my own sisters that have lost babies and they are fine with this picture"...I highly doubt it...many...many people do not see their unborn children....most have early miscarriages before the baby is actually formed. This person has healthy children and has never experienced a loss and I hope never does, and you can get on any soap box you want, I really don't care, but to not have any regard on how that picture might affect others is blatant ignorance..as I've written before, you NEVER know who has fought a battle and while abortion is a serious, serious issue, so is losing a pregnancy, a child, a dream..

Frankly, I would love to live on Sesame Street...it looks a lot better than the "real" world these days...so off I go skipping along singing..."Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street".
