About two inches into the timeline, several weeks into the pregnancy, after so much had gone on in the baby’s life, there was a little tick mark with the inscription, “Mother suspects pregnancy.”
I vividly remember my shock when I read that inscription, “Mother suspects pregnancy?” Really? Her child has been going through massive amounts of development and the mother just suspects pregnancy?
It made me realize that for each and every one of us, we have a time period in our lives when we are just inches away from our own mother’s heart. Living off the same blood and yet she doesn’t even know we are there.
According to that timeline, even when we are most intimately connected with another human, we are still quite alone.
