A: What time was Colin born?
Me: Around 12:20am. It was right after midnight. That's why I always get his birthday wrong, because it felt like he was born on Wednesday, but it was really Thursday.
A: How did you get to the hospital that late at night?
Me: Aunt Beth drove me really, really fast.
A: Did a cop pull you over?
Me: No, but I think Aunt Beth would not have minded if a cop saw us.
A: Why?
Me: Because we needed help. Colin was coming really, really fast.
Colin: That's because I really, really wanted you momma.
With that, he ran into my arms and gave me a big hug.
And that, folks, is all I needed. It was all completely worth that moment.
