Mel had a post up recently talking about how John Le Carre compared writing a book to having a baby. I agree that it was a stupid statement.
However, what I want to share and have in my blog forever are her poignant words on how she actually felt birthing her children.I had my heart literally explode to the outside of my body, as if she was pulling out my internal organs with her -- both figuratively and literally. I cried and screamed and the incessant worrying began -- never pausing even though she is now 6-years-old -- twisting my body to see her, to hear her Apgar scores, to fret about where she was in relation to my throbbing body, still prone on the table, waiting for her twin brother to join her.
YES Mel. Thank you for putting it into the words I could not.
