Happy Birthday Glenell!

Friday, April 30 was my oldest sister, Glenell's 27th birthday. But she is not here to celebrate it with us. 27 years ago Friday she passed away. That’s right, she died on her birthday. She was born 5 months premature at 18 weeks. And since her lungs were not fully developed, she fought and lived 1 hour.
Glenell had all her organs, she had all her fingers and toes, and she had a finger print and a tiny nose. She had tiny hair that grew all over her, and she could wave her arms and suck her thumb. She was a person.

Approximately 6,000 children are aborted each day. Many like Glenell at 18 weeks; many are younger, many older. Abortionist will tell you that life begins at birth. Before that, the child is a fetus and is just a blob.

27 years ago my parents lost their little girl, they buried her in a tiny grave.
Why? Because her life had meaning.

From 1973 through 2005 in the U.S., more than 45 million legal abortions have happened
In 2005 (the most recent year for which there is reliable data), approximately 1.21 million abortions took place in the U.S.

Their lives all had meaning too.

Happy Birthday Glenell. I know you are loving heaven, see ya soon.
