Delivery Day

This must be the closest I would ever get in my quest for a greater understanding of women.

I am giving birth.

It’s gonna be a few weeks till delivery day, and yet, I must be feeling what expectant mothers usually feel.

Fear. Sadness. Joy. Desperation. Hope.

It has not been easy, but I never was one to take the easy (and more often sane) way.

For all the glorious women I met and shared my life with, thank you for the memories. We may have said goodbye, but the memories burn, my flickers of light in my country always in darkness.
