It Also Hurts

I always wanted an older brother. Ever since I was younger I imagined my life with an older brother. Years ago I found out I had one, but my mother ended his life in an abortion.
My parents went to a retreat called "Rachel's Vineyard" I thought it was just like any other retreat we would go to. The Sunday they came back I cried and cried and my parents kept asking what was wrong, but I didn't know. I just felt so emotional.
A few years after, I remember we were picking up my older sister from a high school football game and while we waited for her in the in the car my mom then told me about her abortion. It hurt me so much when she told me. It all made sense. Why I was crying the day they came back from that retreat and why I've always wished for an older brother. It all made sense. It was all because I always had one. That desperate feeling and need for an older brother was because I actually had one, but he was gone. It hurt so much knowing it. For us siblings, it also hurts. An abortion will affect everybody around you. After all, I do forgive my parents for taking the life of my brother. I love them so much although they made that choice and I love my brother although I don't personally know him.
