A second reading equally as emotional - beautifully written. The pic of little Julia looks so like little Milo!

Harrowing, Craig. Even though I knew the story had a happy ending.

Wow, what a journey you just took me on, and I had read a version of this years ago. Thanks for crafting this story so passionately, so honestly.

So intense. Brought back memories of the birth of my second child, Matthew.

Oh my. My heart stopped while reading this. And look at beautiful Julia today. And you and Sheila and Eleanor and Margot. And more.
