But I will never forget the question I was asked weeks after he died
"Where do you see yourself in five years"?
My reply was,
"With at least two children"
The professional was speechless.
Yes I was in a terrible place
I had held for 32 hours the joy of a baby I had birthed and I wanted it again
Yes 3 1/2 years later I had two more babies in my arms
I did know the joy babies brings into a family
but to bring one home to love and grow
showed me the great joy in a whole new life.
