My Moment of Epiphany

My Moment of Epiphany

For most of my life, I have been an active and energetic person. I didn't think there was ever any

possibility of anything happening to me that would change my whole perception of the world. A little

over three years ago, I was single and living the life. At the time, I thought I had everything and was a

very happy person, but the next year proved that I was wrong.

Within the next year of my life, I got married to the person I knew very well and whom I truly

loved. Then, I thought I was an extremely happy person; however, a few months later, I found out that I

was pregnant. I just didn't know what to do. The world around me, as I once knew it, was going to

completely change.

At first, I was completely taken back by the realization of all the responsibility and novelty of

feelings. But after a couple of months, I got accustomed to the new feeling and started to realize that I

will be a mother. It was difficult for me to grasp, being a new mother, the responsibility for a tiny

human life which is totally dependent on me. It was quite scary.

I was getting more excited and happy as time passed by. I began feeling my baby kicking a lot

and I always knew the he was feeling well. At the moment I saw his little face right after labor I

understood that everything that made me happy before was just a preparation for the real happiness.

That feeling of real and complete satisfaction cannot be described - just experienced. I am thankful

every day of my life for the gift I received.
