Birth

I knew how it felt to wait for something you wanted dearly, but never had it been like this. To finally have you with me was a feeling so strange and so wonderful; I hardly knew what to do with myself. You cried and cried. I knew this was even stranger for you than me, because at least I knew what to expect right from the beginning. This was just sprung onto your tiny shoulders, and you were beautiful.

As I held your tiny body in my arms, I wondered how something so small could suddenly become my whole world.
