February 28, 2007: Birth

Dearest Daughter,

Such a long journey we have traveled.  My Nora, you are no longer living within me yet I feel you everywhere.  I do not feel alone or separated from  you.

Your birth was a gift.  You traveled so beautifully and gracefully through my body and when we were ready, you were released to earth's gentle hands.

I held you.
We held you.
Your papa showed you off as a jewel--the fire jewel you are.

Your weight was delicious.
I bathed you in mama care.  Your family bathed you in tenderness and love.
All of you.

You are our baby.
You are our Nora.
