the intro into a story can be the most important part. i want to see if this flows well. let me know
My son, Franklin Eric Dawes, was born in a Memphis hospital in July of 1973 just before dawn. I considered giving him up to a family that could afford to give him a good life, where he could grow up with both a mother and father and maybe a tire swing in the backyard. In the end though, I just couldn't do it.
He was mine, and i was going to keep him. I would just have to figure out the rest as I went.
His father was long gone and living in Washington by the time he was born. He had made it abundantly clear that he wanted nothing to do with a child. His feeble attempt at responsibility came as a red-faced offer to pay for an abortion, which I refused. We never spoke again after that....
so, does this make you want to read on?
