My brother or sister
Author: My First Name Abortion Date: 1954
To my sibling. I was only in the early month’s of being one. I was not a well baby. Born with cancer. My mother decided she could not cope with another baby, so she had a back street abortion. The was some time in 1954. My father was not in agreement and did not go with her. I did not find out until I was in my forties… I am now sixty five. My mother had a baby before me and two more after me. But I have never forgotten their should be five of us. I wish dearly I had somewhere I could leave a memorial for my sibling. For now that place will remain in my heart. xxx
