No Judgement here....

 To be or Not to be, that is the question.
 To judge or Not to judge that's the REAL question.

People are quick to say, who am I to judge YOU. However, there's still a slight form of judgement that takes place. This week has been a very trying week for Tameka Foster, ex wife to Artist/Performer Usher Raymond. And, until you're a parent and you've been faced with a decision such as hers( to take your child off life support or let him continue to fight) you'll never understand.

12 years ago, I was in a somewhat similar situation. I was 21 years old, pregnant with my first child and he was diagnosed Congenital Heart Disease Failure. I was in my 6th month of pregnancy and I had to decide whether or not to continue with the pregnancy or have a DNC performed. After talking it over with my then boyfriend and immediate family members, I decided to terminate with a DNC procedure. It was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. After having a number of procedures done, it was time to deliver him. We decided that if by any chance little Dahvon came out breathing, we would fight for him to live. I'm glad I serve a forgiving and caring God because he already knew what was best for me and the baby.

A few people did judge my decision and a family member even said "there were never any thoughts to kill YOU". However, until you're faced with a decision as such, refrain from judging. There is only 1 God and 1 Heaven or Hell to put you in.  He makes the ultimate decision. Parents are faced with a number of decisions daily. Some choices and decisions are more drastic than others. But the fact remains, a choice still has to be made and we have to respect what the parent decides.

My thoughts&prayers are with Tameka, Ryan( his biological father), Usher, Kyle's brothers and other family members who are affected by this tragic accident. Little Kyle, God Bless your soul and whatever the final decision may be, God we will accept it and it will be well with our souls~~

Sincerely,
A mom who understands

  1. It always amazes me how judgmental people can be - especially in a situation they have never personally been in. It's one thing looking in to say I'd do this and that, but when you're the person directly affected it's a completely different story!
