Many people say that a child is a gift from God to every family and the best gift in fate. But destiny can often tease each of us. What we can do is to seize every hard-won opportunity and never miss every gift from God.
Sister Li is an older sister in my home compound. She is in her forties and has lived alone since she knew her. In my impression, she is a person who has no passion for life. Sister Li had a hard time alone, but she never complained. In my impression, her eyes were very dim, the kind of dimness that lost hope after experiencing too much misfortune. It seems that nothing can make her happy, and nothing can make her sad.
But with such a person, I can often see her secretly crying while watching the children in the compound alone. I can see that she likes children, and I can’t help but wonder what kind of unfortunate past such a woman has left such tears.
Later, by chance, I learned the story of Sister Li. It turns out that when she was young, she had pregnant with her ex-husband. Relying on her youth at the time, she hoped to seize the opportunity to go to the sea to do business and wait for better living conditions before choosing to have children. So, Sister Li went to the hospital and knocked the baby out.
Later, when Sister Li and her husband hoped to have a baby, they found that the uterine wall was too thin and it was difficult to get pregnant because of an abortion. Since then, Sister Li’s biggest goal in life is to have a child. She has made a lot of efforts for this. She uses whatever remedy is useful when she hears it, and worships wherever the gods and Buddhas are. Finally, Sister Li was pregnant with her second child. She was ecstatic. She was very careful when she was pregnant. She was reading all kinds of books and knowledge every day for fear of some problems.
But destiny prefers to make fun of people. When she was five months pregnant, she had an accidental car accident. The child was not saved and she would never be able to give birth to another child. Soon after, her husband and her filed for a divorce. Sister Li didn’t blame him, she signed the divorce agreement very happily, and lived alone until now.
Sister Li has always felt that this was God’s punishment for rashly destroying her first child. If she did not make a rash and selfish decision when she was young, the child at that time could be as happy as the child who ran in the compound every day. Growing up, now I am about to go to university. In that way, there will be no tragedy of the second child. The five-month-old child is already conscious, and even knows to touch the mother’s finger with his hand if he survives. And these, Sister Li will never be able to own, what she has now is just watching the children with happy smiling faces, silently crying.
Children are the continuation of life and the best gift God gives to every family. But this gift is definitely not a gift that can be overdrawn at will. We don’t know what fate has given us, what irreversible damage each miscarriage will cause to our body, or whether we will have the opportunity to usher in a life’s quack and fall to the ground next time.
The fetus will develop a spine and internal organs at four months of age. At six months, the fetus will begin to hear what the mother says. Even many academic studies have shown that the fetus has already become conscious from the early stages of pregnancy. In the process of pregnancy, the fetus not only absorbs nutrients from the present, but also quietly protects the mother in their own way. Both stem cells and placental cells secreted by the fetus can ensure a healthier mother’s body.
At present, the number of abortions in China each year ranks first in the world. Every year, tens of millions of developing embryos are sentenced ruthlessly by the cold scalpel. I hope that every girl will be able to do so when such a gift arrives. Think that you are young and treat it lightly and respect every life. Every life is worth coming to this world once. Take a look at the sun, rain, mountains and sea in this world, warm and wonderful.
