I have never related to a piece of writing more in my life!!!! Beautiful beautiful beautiful. After I read this a week or so ago I had to take a beat. I wish I had something more graceful to say but all I can say is this is a dope essay.

Awesome! As the father of three sons and the husband of a beautiful lady who's given birth to these three rascals and who also lost another child to a miscarriage at five months, I feel this piece as deeply as a man likely can. My wife of 35 years has given so much of herself to our family and I'm in awe of her and all mothers, for all the things they do, all the sacrifices they make, and all the power and love they bring into this world. Bravo to you Kelton for so beautifully capturing the experience you are going through. My fingers are crossed for you and your husband!!!

Oh my goodness. Thank you for writing this and sharing this. I'm not a novelist, nor am I trying to get pregnant, but for some reason, I feel this essay will stay with me.
