My MarchBaby and I went to view OctoberBaby for our birthday retreat date night. We invited friends, another mother and her two teen daughters. Dad and I usually do not permit any social dates during Lent but we thought that this occasion and cause warranted an exception.
I opted for this simplified birthday retreat as soon as March rolled in. The budget was already stretched and a heavy heart was made.
It was much more than just a retreat. It was an almsgiving of sorts. Dad and I knew that we would eventually watch OctoberBaby but we wanted to make a difference. We wanted to send a message to the entertainment industry that there are people out there who want wholesome movies and are willing to support a prolife message.
OctoberBaby is a powerful movie that hit me on many levels. It had a similar impact on Rose and her girlfriends. I encourage all teens, parents, youth ministers,…all prolifers to take the time and money to view this movie.
