There I was in the midst of my worst fear: single motherhood. I had begun the process of shame and ridicule, inflicting the wounds before anyone else could. As my belly grew and I walked alone, my head and my spirit hung low together. When my son was born, labor was nothing to the fear and the pain that consumed my heart.
