First Time

continued from A New Start

The first time I held my son was surreal. At that moment, happiness radiated through me with ferocity. Nothing mattered. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes and I knew that I was changed forever. I now had the responsibility to be the best person I could be for myself and for my baby. All of the bullshit that led to this point withered away like ashes and this was my new start.

Preston is here and I am his mother. The greatest experience a woman can have and I am lucky to be able to say I am experiencing it every day. The fears and the worries never go away but my strength in knowing that I am doing my very best continues to grow.
