second chanceYesterday I watched my mother peruse the toy aisle for my cousin's birthday present. I thought, she's my mother. She chose to be my mother.

She told us she was pregnant in the car. I can't remember if there was joy in her voice like there should've been. She just sounded sad. After that she and dad made sure they'd have no more. But they wanted more. So almost 10 years later they chose to take Elsa and Bette out of Africa from their dying mother. At least they got a secondsecond chance
