She struggled for 21 hours.
Family and Friends anticipated this event, and had kept a keen eye out for her well-being. They knew that this would happen any day soon. And when that day had arrived her husband and mother were the ones who cared the most. Her husband, by her side, had made sure to get her to the hospital when she was sure that it was time. Her own mother was not too far behind, pacing and making sure that everything outside of the room was alright. Watchdog, if you will.
It was time for the Baby Girl that they had all been waiting for to arrive. It was 2 days before the due date, But she knew that the contractions were occurring.
21 hours later Lenora Estelle was born with a head full of hair. Grandma followed the nurse and made sure that her NameSake was not mistaken for any other...
Two decades have passed, and the Love from that first day has never left me. Those same watchful eyes from my grandmother are looking over me from heaven, and the parental grip and love does not cease. And it encourages me to keep on keeping on.
Two Decades have passed and I have become a part of history! President Barack Obama now leads my country of birth and I am so proud of the accomplishments that this country has achieved. This turn of events has encouraged me to "pick myself up, dust myself off" and go about remaking and revitalizing ME!
Wish me luck!
