12 minutes.
6 on one side, 6 on the other. And just like that my year-long journey of nursing my amazing wonderful daughter is over. I feel unburdened… and devastated. It’s already a miracle that my body was able to grow a human and bring her into the world unscathed… but to feed her too? To sustain her outside of the womb she was created in? It’s too much. It’s not enough.
I want everything for her and I want to be her everything. I’m constantly begging for moments of relief while simultaneously missing every second I don’t get with her.
It’s a special and beautiful thing, motherhood. I thank God I’ve been able to experience it.
