Birth?

[Sparky Kronkite]

I mean, what's with that?

I can dig it.

How about you?

One of the greatest things that I have ever been able to witness, was the birth of my three children. I was a right leg holder twice and a left leg holder once. This is one of the memories that I pull from the back of my mind when I am feeling sad. It always cheers me up to think of what a miracle life can be.

Two years ago.....

right about now, I witnessed the birth of my third son - but I also witnessed the still birth of his identical twin brother.

Bittersweet to say the least.

All births are good - deaths are sometimes good - most often bad.

Holding your dead son - identical twin son - before sending him off to burrial is pretty weird - bad - sad.

It sucked.

Sorry if I brought up any bad memories.

Thanks but......

it's all a part of life - my life.

I seem to get it all.

I seem to want it all.

Throw it at me - it only sticks for a while.

I haven't had the honour of being able to help bring a child into the world quite yet, but yesterday I was able to hold a baby girl that was 3 hours into the new world. Pretty overwhelming!

It's kind of put me in a conflict though. For years I've wanted to be able to be a father down the road until I started dating this one woman.. We don't date now very much, I guess you could say we are off and on and being long distance we do allow ourselves to see and meet others.

But one of her big things was the desire NOT to have kids.. Four years ago when I first met her I thought it might just have been a phase, but she still holds true to that thought. And I was about to give up my dream of having children just to have her in my life..

Until yesterday.

It may mean the end of any "hopes" for us.. But somethings are just too important to me. Bringing life into this world and caring for it as my parents did for me is one of them.

That speaks major trauma to me Sparky _ I didn't have the courage to go to any of my kid's births - fear of something just like that.

Painful.

 

[erosman]

Damn Sparky, that has to be one of the most intense moments a parent could know.

yes, bittersweet would only fringe the feelings.


this I shall not forget.

I work in neonatal ICU and we attend all high risk deliveries. I have witnessed hundreds of births and each still touches deeply... miraculous. Daily I see the anguish parents and families go through when things don't proceed as planned. No words can express those feelings to another and no words can take away the pain. If I may just put a hand on your shoulder, and wish you well...

I care about everything - to the extent it deserves - in 'my' life.

'Every thing' gets a nod.

Many 'things' more than that.

I just don't believe in 'oozing care' and dripping it about for others - especially strangers - to step into.

That's not 'my' way.

Turd eater was his siganture, for that post.

So I guess I am the eater of turd-eater turds......

It's all the same shit, ya know.....

 

[freescorfr]

See, Riff, you can figure it all out.

Sparky is a turd eater and I bit one of his turds. They are actually quite tastey at times.

Spark has eaten my turds too, I'll add.

I suppose I shall now be accused of coprophagy (sp?) hehehehe
