Child By Divorce

Date: 10/4/2016

It hurt more to be married so we divorced. A few years later my Ex-husband tried to contact me but I deleted his messages, avoided his calls, and even blocked his number, just as I did his memories. Then I got a call from social services. The stranger was Calley, who told me she was trying to find a mother for a child. A child. Something I desperately wanted but was never granted the precious gift of love of a child. I met with her in a local park, a public place, to hear her story of a private matter. The child was a product of a junky mother and alcoholic father. The mother was in prison and gave up her parenting ties to the only thing that tied her to this life. The lush of a father got off the booze to raise his baby girl. Shortly there after, he learned he had aggressive cancer and couldn't afford the treatments. Left to find someone to take the only person he loved, except for one other person he once knew, may grow to love her was his ex-wife. For him it seemed that life and love crashed into one with a dead end on the way. He tried to call the only other person he loved to see if she would raise his baby girl but she would have nothing to do with him. So he reached out to social services to find what may be the last hope for his daughter. Then Calley asked me if I would met the child.
