Chapter 319 Picturing The Future

• I was certain that the many medical technological advances that the team of doctors presented to us were beyond impressive; however, it made me feel conflicted inside. To me, I felt like there was also an emotional side to the process of conceiving and having a baby. Many things during the various presentations caught my attention although I couldn’t completely comprehend the medical aspect of things due to my limited background knowledge.
• The various videos shown of mothers with their newborn baby and other videos of mothers and fathers raising their baby into a young child were easy enough for me to understand. Everyone featured in the videos seemed happy as they lived their dream come true moment of finally having a child. For a moment, I couldn’t help but wonder if the parents that I used to have smiled like that when they had me or when they were raising me when I was a baby or a young girl.
• Trying to recall my memories of them was futile because I simply did not remember anything. I thought that it would have been great had my parents smiled so happily just like the other parents in the videos. However, a nagging feeling at the back of my mind told me that not all families and couples were that simple. Although there were lucky couples who could smile like that, I was certain that not all couples had that luxury to live such a happy moment.
