Bye-bye my baby, bye-bye

We've had an online friend staying with us for the last four days. She brought her adorable (any tiny) fourteen-month-old son, Andersson. He is so amazing and precious. He had a blast with the kids, and got really attached to me. When I walked in the room, he'd hold out his arms for me, even if he was with his mom. He'd climb up on my lap when he was tired and I'd hum, rock and kiss him to sleep. I thought it was going to be really hard to put them on a plane today, after all the midlife crisis-ing I've been doing these past two years. It wasn't. That acute twinge when I see a baby is gone. The feeling of emptiness in my arms has left me. I can hold, cuddle and enjoy a baby without feeling an ache when I hand him back over to his mother. I thought for sure I'd shrivel up and die if I never had another baby. I won't. Thank you, Andersson, thank you Lord. |
