I held my breath this December as the new year hovered. I’ve no issues with resolutions or the holidays, my trepidation is in the echoes of change, these passages I am coming to know as a mom. I did not want, was not ready, am not ready, for this door to close. I know (though a part of me even as I type this thinks, “If his vasectomy somehow failed, if something slipped through, somehow, someway, it would be ok.”) that Finley is my last.
