A candle-lit night of struggle, with nothing but grit and determination and loving support.
Just after dawn, as little ones stirred and sat cuddled on laps, a new family member was born in their own family room.
No bells, no whistles, quite ordinary, yet profound and timeless in its simplicity. A testament to the strength of woman.
Welcome to the world baby boy.

Good wishes sent to the family that life may continue to go smoothly! And for you too of course.
