Craig D. Lounsbrough
“It is not that you give birth to a child that matters most. Rather, it is what you birth into them.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

John Mark Green
“Birthing is never easy or without pain, be it a universe, a child, or a fresh start in life. Contraction precedes expansion. Darkness comes before dawn. Joy follows pain. This is the way of things.”
John Mark Green
