Her birth was difficult. She was not breathing when she was born . . .the only noise I remember was a tiny bird-like whistling sound.<br /><br />My husband got to touch her hand, but I did not.<br /><br />And they whisked her away.<br /><br />The most difficult moment in all of my mothering these last 11 years . . . that whisking away.<br /><br />Tears now. Even all these years later, that moment's memory brings me to tears.<br /><br />When I became a mother and was forced in that first moment of motherhood to confront the end of that status.<br /><br />Ugh.<br /><br />My daughter is fabulous and eleven years old.<br /><br />And your son?<br /><br />He is gorgeous.<br /><br />Wish him a belated happy birthday for me.<br /><br />Big love.krishttp://www.prettyalltrue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839093118547108694.post-62731596280056936872010-10-10T23:40:25.664-05:002010-10-10T23:40:25.664-05:00i'm going to have to go watch that movie again...i'm going to have to go watch that movie again, becky! i had totally forgotten that part. it IS amazing.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859010006216126347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839093118547108694.post-26994452537376742012010-10-10T23:37:54.910-05:002010-10-10T23:37:54.910-05:00Wonderful story.
