 The day he was born was a mix of emotions we never had. Physically I literally had no feeling as the anesthesia did its work rightly but emotionally my head was in turmoil. The guilt of not doing well enough to have a vaginal birth, the ecstasy of hearing the first cry, and the anxiety of how I was going to raise this tiny little treasure.   And the journey began that day, I believe in learning to be a better human. To learn compassion, patience, and understanding. Every day, I'm surprised at myself as I expand my limits in loving this little human. These emotions swell in my heart and I want to cherish these feelings well, and one day perhaps my boy will know how beautiful our journey together was.
