When I was 15, she told me that if she had known she could get an abortion in the '60s, I wouldn't be here.

TREASURED ITEMS GO MISSING AFTER CHILDHOOD FRIEND'S VISIT (Dear Abby)- June 21, 2008 Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: I recently entertained a childhood friend as a houseguest. It was our first visit in many years. After she left, I noticed several treasured heirlooms were missing -- a hand-blown glass horse sculpture and a bowl from a prominent glass company in Italy. I had hand-carried those pieces home from Italy as gifts for my parents, who have since died. They were the only things that I had from my parents, and they are irreplaceable.http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20080621/lf_uc...
