Today, I needed the comfort and reassurance that this story has in spades.
I also had a bit of a jolt when I realized that Mallory's at the stage of her pregnancy when I was born-- extremely premature, right at the limit of viability for that decade-- and it puts her indecision in a whole different light, since just a touch more stress could have put her into labor the same night.
Heron is definitely his father's son, with his own focus and favorite ways to take care of others. However, now that Mallory's made a decision, the planning and backup planning that he learned from his mother is going to kick in a little more.
