Birth Announcement

As time passes my mind grows weary of horrid people. People who make horrid choices and leave people in the wreckage that harms , from those choices. You know, they only think of themselves and never the damages they leave behind.

I like to think of myself as a forward thinker. Always trying to find the best of situations. Always giving second, third, and even 12th chances. But in that I have found, some situations can't be fixed. Sometimes, some of those people are truly just as horrid and the choices they make.

I could tell you my story once more, but honestly, it is starting to bore me. I will only tell you now of the horrid people I know exist.

Kaye Gaddis and R. Thomas Hagler. Those names mean nothing to you, but to me, it is all that is ugly in this world. Kaye is my birth mother and Thomas is my 100% blood brother. Someone said, you can't say that, it would cause harm. Well if the truth is harmful, I say buck up, and take the truth pony for a freaking ride!

I found my birth mother years ago and found out soon after, that she had married my biological father because of another pregnancy that lead to Thomas. Can't say much about the father figure other than he ran out on them too. Yep, the beginnings of a pretty wretched life for all of us. However, I was the only secret. She gave me away to stay with him, and got pregnant again to keep him. It seems, she's always been  calculating, and I was the only thing that went as planned...JUST GONE.

I needed medical records from her, and she couldn't even find it in her cold heart to do that. I am still asked to this day about family history, and still the same answer. I dont have any. Makes you wonder about a human being like that. Makes me wonder about what I am capable of.

Well I dont wonder any more. I knew a long time ago that I was a secret she didn't want anyone to know. She was ashamed of me. And all along, it was she that should have been ashamed of herself.
If I even could possibly bump into them, I always gave them warning, or just didn't go where the may be. I was told many times that coming near them would cause them harm, and how dare me.

Well folks, Kaye Gaddis and Thomas Hagler, it's no longer a question.. I will go where I like and share the wonderful news...It's a girl. I am NO ONES secret. My life matters, and your concerns dont. It's time for the birth announcement...and I am proud to say,

And the best news of all.....I forgive you, but I will not be your secret.
