My First Grandchild is Born!

If you have ever become a grandparent, you will understand when I say that there is no feeling like it!  Being able to watch your own child give birth to a child, was surreal and amazing!  I was in the delivery room during the whole labor and was able to witness my daughter, Manami, be a courageous and strong mother-to-be.  The longest labor that I had to ever endure was 8 hours from beginning to end.  My daughter persevered through over 31 hours of continual contractions!  She was heroic!  Then, when baby Emi cried out for the first time as she entered the world, I had tears of absolute joy.  It is truly a miracle to see the birth of a new life!  I am still in awe...

I believe that being a mother isn't merely by giving birth to a child but being in the life of your child. You are a great mother and a great grand mother Erica.. ♡
