Learning to Love


Baby D was born Monday night, and my friends got to take him home Wednesday. He is tiny and wonderful and fits just perfectly...and could be a cause for worry if thoughts are allowed to flow that way. His birth parents were quite content without children and subsequently selected my friends from the adoption agency's list.


But now that he's here, there's that window...that horrible "what if" that makes me want to hold him tighter...and makes my arms feel limp simultaneously.


How do you love someone who may not stay in your life? How do you keep time with the Now, and not with the Next?
