The Coronavirus Baby Downfall
Throughout this complete mess of a year, I have tempted and encountered many different challenges and obstacles. While battling my recovery without the aid of in-person meetings, and forfeiting my job of thirteen years to be at home with my children while they school. Every human on this Earth has faced some unpredictable and unwelcome circumstances.
Although I have been a part of my bonus children’s lives for more than four years now, I have yet to experience a baby from birth. I love my children as they are my blood and I forever will, but I understand there is a difference. With my numerous attempts at conceiving, my wife and I found ourselves blessed with a new offspring recently and without a doubt a gift of recovery for me. Even though our newest tormentor has yet to enter this world, my mind is becoming unsettled with future thoughts. In recovery, we are told not to look into the future, to focus one day at a time. To me that is more of a personal goal and when it comes to family and children you need to prepare and look towards the future.
With the predicted due date closing in, my mind explodes in a catawampus sense. With yet to experience a baby from birth my worries arrive with so many thoughts and considerations.
My new son will not be able to experience his grandparents from the start, he will not be able to enjoy baby play…
