We all know that Jesus loves the little children, right?
Well, what if it were your own son?
Look, I’ve made my choices, but I have never hidden them, or lied about them.
The reason why we didn’t "connect" was because you were so willing to date me, yet when it came time to leaving your house in the morning, you would prefer me to climb out of the window, because your room-mates, you called them friends, are up and watching the Tabernacle Choir.
Seriously. If you can’t be honest with yourself, you can’t be honest with your friends. And are they really your friends if they will judge you for being you?
I told you that you cannot ever live your life as a lie, because the truth will ALWAYS be found. Well, in this instance, it was revealed by way of your son.
I’m sorry for not telling you about him until after his birth, but you were not his father. But, for some reason, God has given you to me, to give me this child. Thank you.
You say you are not ready to be a father. He wasn’t in your plan. Well, I was there too, but I chose to love. He deserves that. He didn’t ask to be brought into the world this way, that was our choice.
I can’t stand that you know about him, yet choose to turn the other way. Is it because you really can’t love him? Or are afraid that others won’t love you, since you have been hiding from yourself? I can’t believe that’s the type of man I made a child with.
Well, in that case, stay hidden. My son deserves a better role model than a man who is too cowardly to love the biggest, most wonderful part of himself.
What Would Jesus Do?

What Would Jesus Do?
So, when Milo was about 3 months old, my sister contacted his fathers sister over MySpace. It was a hard decision that had been toying in our minds for a long time, but, Tannith felt it was the right thing to do. And I am so glad that she did.
It's sad to see however, how much disdain Milo's dad has about him. The worst part is that he is requested his family to not have contact with Milo.
Anyway, I want everyone to know about his dad, and how he is behaving. If that means opening myself up more, then so be it. I don't lie about what happened and I certainly won't protect his father in his lie.
Here is a link to hubpages.com This is an article written by David's (Milo's dad) sister.

I didn't know about any of that -- that was an amazing post and article, and I think Milo is lucky to have your for his loving mother.
thanks shana -- we really appreciate it
xoxo
Tresca...I'm sorry you're having such a struggle with Milo's loser of a father. At least you have great family support. He really doesn't know what he's missing. Milo is such a precious little baby.
thanks prilla -- or should i call you "april"? :)
milo is the happiest and sweetest little boy ever. it's just sad that this is his reality.
i however refuse to hide it anymore. people will know who his father is and will know what type of a person he is...
Tresca-- I think you are really brave for what you are going through. It's HARD to be a mom when both parents are involved in raising the child, but I can't imagine how hard it is for you. It sounds like your family has rallied around you & they will be blessed for it. Milo is such a cute baby. It's too bad his LOSER father (from what I've read) won't get to enjoy these first few months of his life. They really are precious times. Good luck with everything. I hope you don't mind my commenting on here.
