Tonight is the night before my son was born, 4 years ago. He was born at 2:18AM via emergency cesarean. Tomorrow morning, he will be 4 years old and so will we, his parents. I have done nothing to think through, or plan any specific experience or anything for tonight.
The experience of his birth was very traumatic on us both. It is a big deal. I almost missed it. I tried to miss it. I planned stuff over it. He would never know. It is a normal day, like any other. But its not. Its his birthday. And most importantly, it marks a reminder of that stressful period of is birth and all we endured; all of us. I have done nothing to think of him, or me, my wife and our marriage.
My wife is visibly saddened by my callousness. She knows that is not the truth about me. Thank God! But it is how I am acting. I even planned to make a meeting tomorrow on my off day and his birthday.
