A Second Chance
>> Wednesday, April 22, 2009
I have to Thank those of you that have laid before me, some incredibly thought provoking and at times, soul searching questions. This one asked by Ms. Fiauna:
"If you could relive one day, which day would it be and why? And would you change anything about it?"
Hands down, without a doubt it would be the day I gave birth to my oldest. For those of you that are new to An Eagles View, I speak of my boys Mo-tay and Gettie. Mo-tay being my oldest....boy. There was one before my Mo, our Sweet Girl -Hanna.
Life was such, that she did not make it through the birthing process and was born silently. An event in my life that has changed me and My Better Half F.O.R.E.V.E.R.
Some may wonder why, if so incredibly painful, why I would choose to relive such an event? One simple reason, because it was so incredibly painful, that I was not able -at the time, to take in the wonder and beauty that all of it was. All of that came later. I would go back. I would change my outlook on things. I would cry a little less and thank her a little more. I would also have spent a few extra minutes with her. The staff at the hospital were generous and allowed us the time we needed, but I allowed them to take her much too soon. Looking back, I would have gained a lot by spending a few extra minutes [alone] with her. A chance to make peace with her, myself and my world.
