"my First Unborn"

Was just a child myself and got pregnant at 14.
Never knew so didn't have a chance to be happy.
One beautiful day I woke up with blood everywhere
and cramps in my stomach so bad I couldn't even walk.
Crawled to the phone and called my husband and said
please come home something is very wrong with me.
As he walked in he looked at me and said OMG we gotta 
get moma.We got to her house she seen me laying in
the back seat so much blood it soaked through the seat.
She got in the car and said you better hurry get her to the 
hospital.As we got to the ER they lifted me on a gurny and 
blood was all over me and the bed.Then the nurse came in
and told me that I'ld lost my baby and just at that very moment
the doctors came in and said we got to do surgery cause
you are unable to pass your baby.So when all was done they 
told me I had been five months pregnant at that time and
wasn't sure if I could ever have children and when I got home
I couldn't talk I felt alone and my heart blead cause with no
children my life would be empty.After all that pain God blessed
us with three children and nine grandkids and a life time of
happiness.               Teresa Skyles

Entered in Ryland Mathews my darkest hour contest.
