Blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family.

Dusty Roads
One I do not remember when I saw my first dandelion, its happy yellow head waltzing in the wind. There is something about rubbing the flower on my chin and giggling the word butter, but that is where any connection ends.

Exposing labor fantasies
Exposing labor fantasies Assuming your water breaks that implies the child is just around the corner Work typically endures several hours. Ladies incidentally begin to contract at home and conceive an offspring rapidly after they show up at the emergency clinic. It is certainly the special case and not the standard relying upon the number of messes with you that have birthed. Typically labor endures 12 - 24 hours on the off chance that it is your first child. After the second and third it is way quicker, thank heavens. The labor cycle has various cycles and stages. The early piece of labor can take a considerable measure of time. Certain individuals will begin with some seizing up until the squeezing gets intolerable then they understand it is contractions. The contractions are perhaps 20 minutes separated then 10 minutes. You want a great deal of contractions that are roughly 3 minutes separated to mellow the cervix. Your cervix will then grow in size. At the point when you are 10 centimeters expanded then now is the ideal time to push. This interaction is known as the second phase of labor. The third stage is after the child is conceived and afterward now is the right time to convey the placenta which is genuinely fast.

A Twelve-Month Pictorial of Isabel
I have an unusual relationship with my mom. We have always been very close. When I was twelve years old I would put my nose up against my mom's nose and talk with her face to face. Whenever we'd go to a store I would escort her arm in arm into the store as if I were escorting Miss America across the red carpet.

10 Years. Top Story - December 2023.
I can feel their eyes on me, people looking me over as I speak to them wondering why I haven't shaved or look disheveled. It's because I can barely look in the mirror anymore, whenever I do all I see is you. As I brush my hair back it looks like your hair, I grow a beard and it's your beard. Even the bags under my eyes are exactly like yours, it's inescapable.

What Happened to the Hero?. Content Warning.
Identity...this is a tough one for me. As much as I like to do self-reflection, I generally don't like what I see when I look inwards and I guess a lot of that has to do with my identity and how I define who I am. That's what makes the subject difficult for me.
