This is the gift I have been given since week 12 of my pregnancy. It’s all I have … Continue reading 3 Weeks, 5 Days left with this body in my body.
That’s what the past 6 months have felt like. My identity will replaced to the slavery of child rearing. My life will soon no longer revolve around me, only my own whims and desires.
