There are things that tell you what it’s like to meet your child for the first time. How the sound of their crying, the feel of their skin will bond you.
There is nothing that tells you what it’s like to meet a parent for the first time. How the coffee will grow cold while you wait.
There is nothing that will tell you how to navigate wanting both an apology and to be loved by someone you do not know.
There is nothing that will tell you how to grieve when you pay the bill and walk out the door.
Wonderful!
Very moving.
Wow…
Very well written, I can feel the pain.
Heart-felt, searingly sad.
Excellent, heart-wrenching story. You elicit all the right emotions and build up to the ultimate letdown.
Actually, there is also nothing that can prepare you for how you will feel, or cope with, a new born baby.
Good reversal on the usual take on things. Very emotional.
