I'm entering the second trimester — my baby is due next May — and this beautiful piece gave me a glimpse of the future. I can hardly wait to meet my baby!

"I used to daydream about going into the past and changing it. I wanted a family that loved me in the way I needed to be loved. I wanted to hold my arms out without flinching. I wanted to look into the mirror and stop seeing the ghost of a wounded child, smudged charcoal where my heart should have been. I have lost count of the hundreds of hours I cried because I could not go back and reverse time. Now I see that there was another way. Another way to be whole. It was forward."

Love this and feel it to the fullest. Big congrats and much love.
