Oh, I absolutely loved your story. Thank you so much for sharing it. You are definitely a shero!
My grandmother gave birth to my mother in a similar fashion. She was alone with her oldest daughter who was 2 years old and my other aunt who was 11 months old at the time. My oldest aunt (the 2 year old) helped deliver my mom while my other aunt looked on. My oldest aunt was told that this was "her baby" since she'd helped and, to this day (they're all in their 60's), she acts as though my mom is "her baby". lol
I love to hear stories like these!
