It's fine with me I only know his name and I like to keep it that way. Is the story real?

The story is real in Justin's context because he might have been aborted if his mother hadn't stood her ground. But as for this scene and character, it isn't real. Justin's dad wasn't really there for him, he had left his mother when Justin was just a toddler.

I wrote this when I thought about kids we never met and the ones we'd never had met if not for grace.

Sounds like the average father I know. I doubt if it matters if you ever met your father as long as you know you are loved. Since I believe in the spirit/soul and not in the body I do not see children we never met. We meet who we should meet and met before and recognize. The soul cannot be killed and migrate into a different body. So nothing is lost except perhaps being unwanted and hated for existing. This is way worse to deal with.

I do not believe the soul can migrate to another body. I just wondered if they were successful, we wouldn't have been given the opportunity to meet Justin.
