this picture got me through it

M has been with me for the last month.
I could not have done it without M.
He was with me every step of the way.
With me before the C-section, during the C-section and after the C-section.
And Mat was there too.
In my thoughts all the time.
I had this picture in my hands when they rolled me the operating room.
The nurse took it away from me because they had to get me ready - which me panic a bit.
They gave it back to Mike when he came in the OR.
And he showed it to me all through the operation.
It made me very strong.
This is what children do to you.
They make you strong.
