Midwifery is not just about mom's and babies....it's about families. Several months ago we were privileged to support a family who were walking the extremely difficult road called cancer. We had the complicated conversations of how things would go in the situation that this dad-to-be was unable to come to the delivery, and we prayed that it would all work out that he could attend. As it happens, the Lord granted that birthday perfectly and all were present to rejoice in the arrival of this new little one. Today I received a card with the words "his scans came back clear and he is in complete remission""
I can't even imagine the feelings this couple have experience the past few days because I was overwhelmed with thankfulness. Midwifery is becoming a part of a family for a moment. It's watching a story unfold. It's an absolute honor to have the opportunity to weep with those who weep and to rejoice with those who rejoice. Tonight I am so, so thankful to have the opportunity to rejoice with this family and a clean bill of health. During this week of thanksgiving, and on the heel of this lovely news, I am thankful for each of you who have chosen us to walk with you ...to be a part of your family...to walk a portion of your journey with you. It truly means the world🩵🩷
