My heart is so full

My most recent client contacted me today - I did my last postnatal visit last Thursday and I was kind of sad that that was it. This family had invited me so willingly into their home, and now it was gone forever. I love that I had that special time with them, the beautiful birth, the amazing chats, blowing kisses from their toddler... it was a space in time that was all mine.

She sent me a message today - just saying that they need a photo of me and Lily and they want to give me photographs of the birth. So I blurt out - "I miss you so much" (dumbass, who says that to their clients?!) and her reply was "I know! You were so involved and part of the birth, it felt weird to not see you again :)"

My goodness, who am I to deserve such abundance. God has entrusted me with so much, and nothing about this process has ever been close to disappointing.
Thank You!

It must be difficult to share such special moments with a family and then to have to say good-bye and not see them again. I don't think you are silly at all Milly xxx
