[WE101] : When my time stops

While writing this prompt, i felt elevated and wished i could just keep writing. I have always remembered this day, but the thought of really going back there and staying there hasn't come to my mind. However i think writing this has just brought back the memory and have kept me there for a while or i guess so. However, here is the question, I am responding to.

If you had the ability to stop time (and remain there) which year, moment, event or era would you choose, and why?

We all have a lot of things we wish for to happen. I am certain if a lot of us have supernatural powers, we would get some things we have envisioned done really quickly. Oh well, I guess life makes us get and do whatever we want in our imaginations. That is the power of imagination.

So here i am,listening to my imagination telling me that I can have the supernatural power to stop time. Yes, I want to go back to my past and stop the time there. I want to just be there for the rest of my life. And that day would be on the 22nd of January, 2022 at 8:15am.

This day is the most treasured day in my life. A day the universe blessed me with a princess. A day I was called a mother. The joy that filled me up when I saw my little princess is indescribable. Only a mother knows that feeling and can understand better.

I recall vividly how I fell into labour the night before. Another experience to talk about because I didn't fall naturally. I was induced. A hard and painful one it was for me. I was in intense pain for 7 hours. Mine was terrible because i was hyper contracting due to the drug that was given to me. The injection i was given to cool things a bit was futile as i didn't see any difference at all. But all of that pain and discomfort vanished just in a twinkle of an eye when I saw my daughter.

I miss that day and wish I could just go back to that day and just freeze it forever. I stared at her all through the time the nurses were cleaning me up. I couldn't help but wonder how lucky I was to have birthed an angel. She was so peaceful and beautiful.

After cleaning me up,we were both taken to my bed and guess what I did? I kissed her for almost 5 minutes. In fact one of the nurses laughed at me that day. She told me that it was a normal experience for a new mum.

I remember staring at her while she was sleeping that night. It did feel like a dream to me. A dream that I wasn't ready to wake up from. That day will forever be memorable to me. A beautiful and special day it is to me.

Writing this has brought back that special moment. Super grateful to @galenkp for making me write this today.

Makeup for babies? No she wouldn't wear any makeup until she is old enough to do so herself.

Thank you so much for the compliment

The joy of motherhood is incomparable and that is why mothers cry a lot whenever their child is taking the wrong step

All the best to your Princess, she is now a big girl
