Michael and I played Scrabble in the hospital room while you sat in quiet meditation, excited, hopeful, hooked up to monitors, bearing each contraction with calm strength, no cries of pain or even (as I remember it now) any break at all in your peaceful concentration. I see you that way still, gracefully bearing the pain and soaking in the beauty of Sophie's life, which carry you forward (sometimes pushing you back) like waves in an ocean. The mermaid and her mother. Much love to you both on this day. With, as always, hope and peace.
