MORE THAN WORDS

Last Saturday I went to the office we have at Queens. I saw something special that I want to share.


It was 11:15 am when a woman arrived and rang the bell, she had an appointment to have a sonogram. She was nervous and happy at the same time. The sonogram would let her know the sex of the baby she was due to deliver in December. She had no preference for boy or girl, she said that both would be welcome.


With this woman also arrives another girls, who also have appointments at the Queens Office, however, this woman was doubting about whether to have her baby.


The first woman was full of joy, it ends up that she was expecting a boy, when she saw him on the screen she started crying because of the emotion she felt. She began to laugh, to call some of her friends and also her family. She was really happy, She couldn't stop watching her baby on the screen. Her happiness spread all around the office.


The second woman, who I described lines above, saw and heard what happened, all about the sex of the baby and how happy her mother was. She went to the Queens office thinking that abortion was another option but, when we began to talk to her, she explained to us that her feelings were confusing her. The cheerfulness of the first patient gave her the strength she needed to realize that what she was carrying was a human been, a baby that would bring her the same happiness, not just for one moment but of the rest of her life
