Ode to Miss America Eel
Today I went to see Flower’s baby – do you know how long I’ve been telling Flower to have a baby, before it’s too late, before her biological clock betrays her? And now, she has one, a full fledge Flower eel baby who is so beautiful since she came via C-section that we have dubbed her the Miss America Eel. To see your friend become a mother is such a transition that it bring tears to my eyes not to see just the infant at her breast, but the woman she has become.
This has happened with other friends and it never ceases to amaze me.
