“While the house is dark and everyone is asleep. I’ve unpacked my bags, done some house chores, washed Sky’s cup and put washing away,” she continued. “Now I’m sitting in the Skys room just staring at him. Having a needed a well earned cry. Happy and scared tears. This boy. My whole heart. What a special day today was.”
