Firstborn—

Nothing – no other joy can compare to the gift of my son. The doctors tried to keep him in the hospital for a few days after he was born as he was a little jaundiced. I remember coming out like a mother lioness protecting her cub! Needless to say, I was able to bring my firstborn home quickly. No matter what I have accomplished in my life, my child will always be my greatest gift, my greatest achievement!
