Dear Cutie,
I don’t have a question. I just wanted to say thank you for the answer you gave someone else. I saw you on KTLA news. A person had asked about being infertile. My situation is not exactly the same, but I know how she might feel.I am 45, so having kids at my age is not realistic. I did have a child when I was 18, but I felt I was too young and unprepared, so I put him up for adoption. It was the hardest thing I ever did. Now I often regret it. Since then I have felt at times I was less of a woman because of my choice and because I never had any other children. Anyhoo, your kind answer meant so much to me. I know that if anyone else would ask me about a similar situation, I would say of course, do not blame yourself or feel bad, and do not feel that you are not a woman or a good person. But when it comes to my own situation I always beat myself up. I am not sure if I am making sense. I guess I just wanted to say thank you
Signed,

Dear Thoughtful,
It is easier for us to show compassion to other people before we can show it to ourselves. You made a very difficult decision at that time, but it was right for you at that time. We all live with our decisions. And we all wonder what could have been. That is in God’s hands. It takes a real woman to recognize what she can and cannot do. And your bravery gave your child a real chance at a beautiful life. He will always have a place in your heart. And you can rest your heart and know what was past is past and you live for today and for tomorrow. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I will think of you fondly. Good luck to you.
Love,
Cutie.
