Lowell, MA USA Absolutely! I recall the feeling so very well; it was in the hospital and it was the first time I actually used the words "my daughter." I had been so ill throughout her birth and just after, but when I finally became well enough to go to the nursery to see her and hold her...I called ahead to see how she was doing. Even though the words flowed quite naturally somehow, I was still honored to hear myself use them for the very first time! I can't think of any other time in my life that can touch that one!!
