While waiting in line at the gas station yesterday afternoon, I skimmed over the headline on the front page of the Chicago Tribune, ‘Blogger’s Baby Was a Hoax‘. After getting home and reading the article, I followed that up with some internet investigating. I found information that only furthered my ire. A woman so desperate for attention that she would make up a story of a terminally ill unborn baby (How much of a resemblence to previous events in her life is completely irrelevant) and drag good hearted, innocent people into her charade is beyond my comprehension, but not beyond me throwing my two cents worth, into the ring.
The only way this work of fiction could have hit any closer to home, would have been if my daughter-in-law wrote it herself. Faith Hope, mentioned many times previously on this site was a living, breathing Angel and she suffered from the very condition, Holoprosencephaly, which afflicted the child in Beccah Beushausen’s warped imagination.
I’m dumstruck, angry, confused and saddened by this farce, and can only sit here and wonder what exactly this did for Mommy Dearest. Did the attention make her feel better about herself while she was busy emotionally robbing people. Did it make her hurt less for her own personal losses earlier in life.
I don’t think its possible for me to care any less for her emotional state or her losses.
If you went through anything even close to this before in your life, why in the name of God would you put yourself through it again by way of lies?
When Faith Hope was born and throughout the pregnancy, our family came together in ways I never dreamed posssible. We were blessed with 2 1/2 months with Faith and there is nothing I wouldn’t give to have just one more minute of that. Beyond the hatred I feel for Beccah Beushausen, I feel for the people that put their hearts on the line, that prayed daily for a precious life that never existed.
In closing, I hope Beccah gets the help she needs, Lord knows, she needs alot of it.
But, any hell that coming clean has brought upon her, is fully deserved. You enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame but the fallout will last so much longer.
