She was young maybe 18 or 19. She stood at the door alone.   Tears filled her eyes, voices behind her pleading for her not to open the door.  Did I mention she walked up alone.  The clinc escorts didn’t even see her until she got to the door.   She didn’t pause for just a moment and then go in. No, she stood there alone for a good 5 minutes.  The voices “Please go next door” “Please let us talk to you about the options.” “You don’t have to do this.”  “There are people that will help you through.”  Then she opened the door and walked in…

Sure there were people…. But where was the man?  I have to just wonder if the man involved said: “Look I know this isn’t what we wanted, we aren’t ready, but I will stand up with you.”   Would she have walked through that door?  Would she have even made the walk down the street?

Her face has been in my prayers since Friday.  My gut wrench’s as I think about her tears… Father God be with her.
