The Moment I Held You
In Minnesota, a young couple faces the challenges of honesty and love as they prepare for their first child, Eva. This heartfelt story shows the ups and downs they experience, and how honesty helps them become even closer.
Eva's parents were overjoyed when they found out they were going to have a baby. They couldn't wait to hold their little girl for the first time. But as they started preparing for Eva's arrival, they realized they needed to be completely honest with each other about their worries and fears.
One day, Eva's mom felt very tired and sad. She told Eva's dad, 'I’m scared I won’t be a good mom.' Eva's dad hugged her and said, 'We’ll do this together. We need to be honest about how we feel.'
As the months went by, they faced more challenges. Eva's dad had to work extra hours, and he missed being home. 'I’m worried I won’t be around enough,' he said. 'We’ll find a way to make it work,' Eva's mom reassured him.
Soon, it was time for Eva to be born. Eva's parents were nervous but excited. 'What if something goes wrong?' asked Eva's dad. 'We’ll stay strong and be honest with each other,' said Eva's mom. They held hands tightly.
After a long wait, Eva was born. Her parents felt an overwhelming love when they held her for the first time. 'I didn’t know I could love someone so much,' said Eva's dad. 'She’s perfect,' whispered Eva's mom.
Bringing Eva home was a new adventure. They slept less but smiled more. They learned that being honest about their feelings made them a stronger family. 'We’ll always be honest with each other, for Eva,' they promised.
