This strong, single, blind mother requested to “see” her baby as he crowned, reaching down to feel. And when the time came, he decided to enter this world with one push the midwives at Denver Health helped her catch him, bringing him up to her chest with grace. He instinctually nestled into her chest and reached up to touch her face, her nose, her lips as she exclaimed, “YES, that is my face!”
This woman embodies motherhood with her strength, beauty, courage and phenomenal sense of humor. She may live with struggles most of us will never be able to comprehend, but I have never stood next to a woman that could see the world so clearly.
