Life @ < 0

Though more than four decades ago, I remember it well, the first stirring.

Waiting with my young husband to see a movie, the film about to begin. A flutter somewhere above the pubic bone. A little something moving. Something apart from me, of me, but not me.

A little secret, whispered to my companion as the lights went down. A squeeze of the hand in solidarity. Soon a family. Soon a family.

How awesome, having created life.
