Ohhh, Grace!! Your message has made me tearful (in the good way!). I almost deleted most of that message, thinking I was blathering on and it was getting long ... but after I highlighted it to hit 'delete' something in me said, no, leave it. Yay, intuition!

I'm so glad it was helpful for you. And yes, Tania made the right choice. Just a shame it had to be that way, and she wasn't able to raise her boy.

I've often wondered about that young woman. Forty years later, I still remember her first and last names...that story left such an impact. I was a single mum of my first two children at that time, with no dads around and just my toxic parents. I almost died when I had my second one, and was living with my parents at the time. I was a medical miracle for having survived that childbirth.

We never think that people die in childbirth anymore, but they do. And there can also be these life-altering complications, too.

Thanks for your kind message this morning, and for sharing this story. I appreciate you, too. 💝💝💝
