The flag is fading.
The truth is I'm tired of wearing it. When I change positions in the night, it moves against the chain and wakes me up. I like necklaces. I have many others I'd rather be pulling from my toddler son's chubby hand while carrying him on my hip.
Someday I will give it to him, this talisman of love. Someday when he's old enough to understand what it meant to me to wear his name above my heart and wait.

I have a necklace that says Expecting from Africa. I have also worn it for about 10 months and will wear it about 10 more. I have taken it off twice (because I had to for surgery). I can't wait until I can replace it because I am no longer 'expecting'.
stop making me cry!
