Maria, story nerd here! I could barely even read this because my eyes were welling with tears. I love the way you constructed this and I felt the emotion in it. I actually just wrote about this very thing, how true love can be with your children. So, it was on my mind and this just reinforced how I feel. I loved this article so much. If I have to give a critique it would be that I wanted more. Maybe another personal example of how real the love is with your daughter, after childbirth.
