This is unbearably beautiful. It's the only piece of writing I've found that captures what those moments after birth felt like. Thank you for sharing <3

I'm so glad it resonated. It's literally one of my favorite pieces. I think my second favorite thing I've ever written was an IG post also about this night, which I repost every year and maybe will do on this forum this year lol.

Wow. The way your writing is at once very personal and very universal…just wow. Thank you, once again, for putting these experiences into such poignant words.

I love reading your experiences and narrative about parenthood. Your words so full of life, details and fragments of what being in relationships with your children feel like. Somehow those words invite me to explore my relationships with my children but also those relationships I had with the adults in my life when I was a child.
