OH NO….never can I be a mother. I thought I was up to the challenge. I read the article the myth of being a mother and i realized I am far from that. I am the one who goes back to work after a month or so. I can only imagine those moms how guilty they must feel. Not really being hands on mom or part of the PTA. The other article about parents as partners I never looked as gay people as being parents. But they are there. They want to be parents too…I think being gay is a real bold move and being a gay parent is even bolder. I applaud them for their fight and their bark.
WHOA before I forget the assignment asked to read that girls blog. Okay I have no idea. I always thought the middle east had problems thats why we always said peace in the middle east. I didn’t know it got worse to the point of utter fear in family. The first one I read was about this woman confessing that she had been raped and I realized to her it was such a huge thing that she actually used her real name, to be raped and no one believe you and the ones who rape you get an award. It must be so painful. My favorite blog was about her and her family crossing into Iran I think. She described how scary it was, she said that she was just looking around to memorize the faces just in case a car bomb went off. I thought to myself. My people in Zimbabwe are suffering just as bad and that people do live in fear almost everyday. She mentioned about the kids going to take a test for school who went missing. There are so many parallels between her country and Zimbabwe. I immediately realized how blessed I am and how divinely favored I am to be positioned here to help. I now see a different side of the “war on terror” and I have been partial about it but now i think I am fully against the war the Iraqi families who have suffered.May there loved ones rest in peace. I feel for her when she said when bush looks at them they are just Iraqi women when I look at them they look like my cousins, my aunts, my niece, my friends…
