I remember you well, my child, in that
first ultrasound scan, like a little astronaut. The surprise
sent a thrill through us from head to toe. Your mother still
had the scars from her first delivery - and who had thought of
you, who had seen you there? You just appeared, and I cannot
imagine what the world would be like without you. The people
who say that motherhood should always be preceded by the desire
for a child have good intentions, but they are blind to reality.
