Title: Perfection


One word resonates in your mind: perfect.

You cradle him gently in your arms, half-afraid that this is just a dream. You waited so long and you prayed so hard and now – finally – you have a son.

You can't help yourself: you count his fingers and toes. When he grabs hold of your thumb with his tiny hand, you're surprised at his strength.

A tear escapes, rolling down your cheek. You know you'd die if anything had to happen to him.

Your husband smiles, saying, "What do you think of Jarod?"

Jarod. You like it. "Hi, Jarod. I'm your Mommy."
