writings.

I wrote this a few weeks after your birth. These words are not even a drop of water in the bucket that is my emotion toward that day, but they'll have to do.
That day was the single most defining moment of my life. My biggest accomplishment. My most violent inner struggle. It was the best day of my life, hands down.

swelling belly.
forty and six.
outer silence.
inner struggle.
breathe. breathe.
give in to the body.
much like the waves of pain,
a life began in the water.


I love you,
Mama
