Proudest moment.

May 30, 2005 14:54

At what moment in your life have you felt most proud?

Standing next to Reena in the birthing room after she’d given birth to our daughter. Even though I’d had nothing to do with her conception ~ well, save for using the baster to put Mitch’s sperm into Ree… There is simply no other feeling like that.

Oh, I know it’s so cliché, but it’s true.

Watching the birth take place, encouraging your partner, knowing that this is only the beginning of the journey you’re going to take together with this child…there’s nothing like that feeling. Immense gratitude, immense happiness, immense fear.

Any doubts I’d had about the baby, about our ability to raise the baby, about my even wanting the baby to be part of our lives…and of those negative thoughts from before went out of my mind. When I saw that baby and held Reena and we cried together and stroked our daughter’s face together… I knew that no matter what, that moment was what I’d been born for.

And that’s my proudest moment.
