This week I was with my beautiful friend as she entered the final stage of her pregnancy, and the first stage of her baby's life on earth - her labour process.
It started on Sunday at midnight (2.00pm for her, when her waters broke), and she eventually welcomed her babe into the world on Tuesday at 11.00pm.
We walked, rocked, moved, breathed, danced, connected, listened, spoke, shared, hoped, waited, worried. It wasn't straightforward. It was utterly beautiful. It was one of the biggest honours I have ever had to be with her.
I am now a Godmother.
And a precious, perfect, innocent new life is with us. Welcome, beautiful babe! Welcome to the world. I promise to always remember the Truth about who you are, and to be here to support you and love you and be the angel who stands over you and whispers, "grow, grow."
This life is so precious, isn't it friends?
