Child-Free
The day begins at four am, another day before the sunrise - another opportunity to see the sunrise, I tell myself. The truth is, the sun will rise while I am changing a diaper as it almost always does. I chose this life, and I wouldn't change it. Sometimes though, before my coffee and when my little guy won't stop clinging, I fully understand people who choose child free lifestyles.

Living by Someone Else's Rules
Dresses are pretty, let me braid your hair. Oh you look so nice all dressed up - the boys will be falling over themselves. Cross your legs, it's ladylike. Don't swear, you sound like a sailor. Be careful when you go out, don't wear anything too revealing - you heard what happened to that young girl.

Silence.
We tell you: we're pregnant! Silence. We tell you: it's a little boy, he needs to stay in the hospital. Silence. I wish you Happy Birthday; Silence. The spring thaw arrives. The summer carries heat and exhaustion I wonder where you are You're still loved. The weather turns cool I hope you are safe Halloween arrives, Decorations galore for a young relative you have never met Halloween goes You are invited to Thanksgiving; Silence. Christmas comes; you are invited Silence. An open invite, hope springs eternal after all Christmas goes; you did not come I wish you Happy Birthday. Silence.

Flying is Only Painless when you're Airborne
This story is hard to write. It's mine, and to be honest, it's only the first chapter. Who knows though, maybe this story will reach someone and impact them the way others' have told their stories and impacted me. I don't write this because I think I'm special, or unique. In fact, rather the opposite - I write this because I think my story is a far too common one and perhaps, just perhaps, if someone heard it before they went through it, they never would.
