I know rejection. I know what it means to hurt others when you are deeply hurting yourself. I used to choose to listen to the lies that Satan has feed me through the many, yet short years that I have lived, up until recently. My view of myself has slowly and gradually changed because I have shifted my focus on listening to the truths of Jesus Christ, my savior. That does not mean the words you spoke did not resignate and remind me of my past or that they did not hurt. They did. And to be completely honest with you, your words caught me by surprise and triggered my “pregnancy emotions.” I cried a lot. Additionally, I would like you to understand that a quick judgment can completely cause you to lose focus on some of the more important things in life, such as connecting with others and recognizing the true beauty of even the smallest of moments. When you walked past me that day, I had just minutes before dropped off my sleeping beauty at daycare and I was carrying her lunch into work to place it in our refrigerator so that it would not spoil in the heat that has continued to loom over us lately. Prior to dropping my daughter off at daycare, we had been in the hospital visiting a second dermatologist for a second tumor that I found a couple months
