Even if you want to forget, you often can't.... first time getting into a car accident. first autopsy. First time falling in love. first kiss and first heartbreak. first move away from home. first time delivering a slippery newborn baby. …even the first time eating passion fruit.
the other night, I delivered my first stillborn child into the world. He was only 20 wks old… the length of a large yam really, and if you didn't look carefully you would have thought he was a blood clot. When we lay him on his mothers belly in a clean towel, she stopped crying. she just caressed him. the room was silent. there were no words.
