Another week with my feet up has made me think how valuable life really is and why I would never be without my family.
Another season, another operation. Or so it seems. I’m just getting over my second operation of the year and although I’m now able to move around a little easier, I still can’t pick up my 2 year old son. He’s getting used to it now, but as it’s the second time it’s happened this year, I feel as though we’re both missing out. Shortly after her was born, I also managed to hurt my back which put me out of action for quite a while too, which was something he had to get used to (not forgetting my loyal wife who runs round after both of us when I’m not able to move easily).
I find them quite frustrating, as well as fairly emotional times, because I seem to miss out a lot more when I can see what’s going on and can’t join in than when I’m at work and not there at all. It makes me realise just how special and precious life is, which is why I’m torn when I read about another abortion debate in the UK this week.
Should abortion be allowed or should it be made much harder? To be honest, I don’t really know. My personal opinion is that I would never want my wife to have an abortion and I would never want to think of a situation when one of my children might be aborted; but shouldn’t people be allowed to choose? Then again, I feel that life is given by God, so what position does that put us in?
Read more about the debate in this week’s article and feel free to join the discussion.
