becca spears - Ash, as a friend, what a beautiful shared experience we had that night! Your presence and your influence was part of the story from long ago, I believe that. And your record of it has enlightened me. Even more than I knew to what an amazing life partner I have in Mark. And what you said about pain being inextricably bound to joy is right on. You are an expert at that facet of human life my dear. Natural childbirth is the most powerful example of that I have ever experienced and I am thankful that you not only captured it, but you also encouraged me toward it. I love you and you are one of the best storytellers I know. Fiona will be so blessed with this amazingly intimate record of the day she came into the world.
