I love the tiny feet of my daughters - they're soft, round and perfect. Those little feet have so far to go, so many kilometers to travel. As individuals, our girls have such amazing adventures to embark on and I will do my best to never hold them back, remembering always that their lives and loves are their own to discover. I will guide them as best as I can, I will love them with all of my heart and I will encourage them to be the people they want to be.

Is this a major turning point? How will she feel tomorrow about how she feels today?

Will life be the same? There’s only a small part of her right now that wants life to remain the same – for the sake of her children - but there's a big part of her that's straining, pushing, fighting, kicking against the cage that keeps her feeling safe.

Quiet, thoughtful, attentive, sensitive, kind, caring - or just shallow?

Changing the circumstances won't change her life - or will it? Will changing the circumstances keep life the same because it is she who is the common denominator?

Who is she? What is she? Where does she come from? Does she love? Can she love - the person who loves her the most?

Wow it hurts, this realisation. But there's happiness too. Intense happiness for that which she has experienced. The waiting, the anticipation, the butterflies, the fear, the uncertainty…. the first glimpse. Her heart warms, it almost melts a little - and she knows that what she is there to do is exactly what it is that she wants to be doing.

She wouldn't change it. She wouldn't go back and make it go away. She'll pack it into a little part of her heart and keep it there safely - forever. For her.
