Saving Noah

by Lucinda Berry

I cherished being the most important caregiver in my children’s lives and couldn’t imagine giving them to someone else to raise while I went to work.

heavy on this sentence as i have a child of my own and thought the same exact thing. especially the part of being able to raise my child without having someone else do it for me.

fell in love with him instantly, marveling at his perfection and that I’d grown him cell by cell in my body. My feelings stemmed from the deepest parts of me, parts I didn’t know existed until I had him. He wasn’t a stranger when they placed him in my arms. It was like a missing piece of myself had been returned.
