stunned

A good friend of mine is close to me in age (43) and hasn't met anyone she wants to be with, but does want to have a child. She's been thinking about it for a while and has decided to go it on her own. She's going to try to get pregnant in the fall. 

Tonight she asked me to be with her in the labor and delivery as her companion when it all finally happens.

I am...stunned and honored. 

I will never get to have that experience myself...I never thought I would have any part of that and made my peace with it.

...I am speechless that I will get to be there as she experiences it and be a part of that with her.
