A Short Story About Awareness

When I was pregnant with my second child, I had many ambivalent feelings. You see, my first child was just that, my first. It was just the two of us and my attention was solely focused on him. I could not imagine anything or anyone interrupting my time with him. I loved my first child so much that I felt guilty that I was expecting another not understanding how I could ever divide my love between the two. People would say "I bet you are so excited that your son will have a new sibling soon." I politely nodded and secretly thought, that my first son was the center of my life it is incomprehensible that a second child could be anything but that, second. I remember worrying and thinking how can I possibly divide my love? The big day came and it was just that, big. I so clearly remember the nurse handing me my new born son. I wept with new found awareness. When love grows it multiplies, love never divides. I went on to have four more children and my love as a parent has multiplied each time.
