one year and three days

So one year and three days ago a magical event happened...
I sit here and look at the sleeping baby in my arms and it is incredible to think that one year and three days ago cells were joined, and cells divided, and this utterly beautiful gorgeous little angel started forming.
One year and three days ago my life changed forever, my identity, my lifestyle, my priorities, my sense of myself in the world...
One year and three days ago I began learning to love in a whole new way...

One year and three days ago I danced at an African festival. I was happy because the woman I loved had opened her heart and come back to me. I was happy because I was surrounded by loving friends. I was happy because I made a yummy risotto for my parents, my donor, my lover and her daughter... my big strangely shaped family around my dinner table. I was happy because I was full of hope for the future. And the happiness found its way inside me, and called out to a perfect little girl..."Come"..the happiness said "here is a wonderful place, a warm place, a place of laughter and joy...come to this life, this home, this woman... come and share the happiness and make it manifold"
And so my Indigo Rose found life.... one year and three days ago.
