"I was met by a sound something like a cross between singing, yelling, growling, and yodeling. It wasn't exactly a sound specifically voicing pain. It was the sound of pure power, the sound of immense strength fueling the creation of life…
And then a minute later I saw in slow motion as my little sister tumbled out into the world, and my mom scooped her up into her arms, and my brain was working full force again, and my new sister pulled my mom's hair, and "Asleep and Dreaming" by The Magnetic Fields was playing, and my vision blurred from tears, and she was so gorgeous.
That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. And as I sat there laughing and crying at the same time, the only thing I could think was "Life is so beautiful." -Luca, age 12
