Father Why did you abandon your twin daughters? Was it because of not wanting to support us? It remains a puzzle that keeps my mind searching for the missing pieces in this lifetime of knowing you through old photos and your name. 7-12-18 Abandon 2 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brenda Chiri

Oh, honey, this one knocks the beats from my heart. I feel you feeling this. So direct, to the point of the why of the hurt. I'm all but crying. Bear hug ... CayCay

Hi Connie, an Etheree that says much. I was sorry to read through this poem but i have to say you have become a most wonderful person. To lose a father through illness is one thing but to be abandoned, that is hard for me to comprehend. Wishing you luck in the contest Connie. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Thank you Agness. We didn't meet our mom until we were three and a half. I made sure my kids knew how much they were loved.xxoo : )

I can't image any parent abandoning their child! That is just, unfathomable. Very good, emotive poem.

It is true Becca. My mother was married to my father for 7 years, then we came along and he took off and never paid for my older brother who is 7 years older than us, either. He is long dead now in the '80's. Thank you Becca. : )

I couldn't possibly imagine abandoning my child or being abandoned as a child. I know it happens way too often. Wonderfully written but very sad, Mrs Connie.

This is a great Etheree, Connie! It falls in line with 3 identical triplets who were adopted and found each other as time passed. Check it out. I wish you luck in the contest.,,Ralph

Thank you very much Ralph. My knowledge about my father is about as short as thus etheree. I appreciate your insightful comment. I saw about the triplets on T.V.: )
