Today's writing

When I first found out I was pregnant I shook. Only later I realized it was from excitement. I had no idea my body could do that. One hundred pounds ago, it likely couldn’t. Now I was capable of growing a human being. Jesus Christ, could you even imagine?

We all know the particulars of our circumstances and see them as special, because to us they are. We know the obstacles and the odds. And we know how much it took to get us to where we are. This is why parents so often see their children as snowflakes – to them, they are.

I wasn’t just me anymore. I was with snowflake.
