Warm. Comfortable. Secure.
Movement.
Pushing and shoving from behind.
A lightening, brightening.
Forced towards it.
Sound. Far away. Muted.
Growing louder.
Insistent
Blinded!
Screeching.
Ripped, kicking and screaming from the comfort.
Deep breath.
Softness and a comforting rythm.
Eyes open.
Looking around.
Lying on my wife’s chest is our son.
With his birth I am reborn a father from a husband.
She is reborn a mother from a wife.
Together we are reborn as family.
Welcome my son, welcome to your life.

The transition from such harshness to something beautiful is very well handled. It caught me a little by suprise.
Beautiful work, great writing!
