This morning at 2:00 am I was holding a hungry baby whose life entirely depends on me for survival. We shared a smile as I looked into my own eyes. A little hand grasped the neckline of my nightgown as if he wanted to let me know that that was the way he felt safe.
At 2:20am I watched those same eyes drift off. He drank the Milk as if it was the last bottle and he would never have the chance again.
We don't need much at that time of the morning. When our eyes meet the world and everything in it is forgotten.
It is true that nothing prepares you for Motherhood.
What were you doing at 2:00am this morning?
