Nostalgia How I miss those days when I was the only one who could fill your needs. Those months that I carried you, safe in my womb, my body nourishing yours. The happiest times of my life: back when you were all mine and I didn’t have to share you with the world. I carried you like a secret, I would hug you to me, a knowing smile on my face. I was blessed with you as others looked on with jealous eyes. How could they possibly know the joy I felt in my heart? Your first movements were mine to decipher. An elbow? A knee? Hands spanning my belly, trying to feel the source of my elation. I cherished those moments, knowing they would end all too soon. When you were born, I thought our private times were over. But when you smile at me and snuggle up to me, I know the bond we forged back then grows ever stronger. |

Well, I can't relate to the carrying part but I can to the sentiment. Beautiful, Tara. |
