The first day of my sabbatical was spent in the labor and delivery floor of Abilene Regional Medical Center wher we patiently and eventually inpatiently waited for the arrival of our son. After 11 hours of active labor, Tres was born via surrogate at 6:50 pm. Throughout those hours I was calm and collected, able to keep my emotions under control but tgen the moment came where the doctor said “There he is, he’s coming.” At that very moment, all the years of let down, disappointment , yearning and feelings of failure melted away. All the tears that fell were all those feelings disolving. That day, our family became complete.
