mego.

my blog today is dedicated to my mom (mego in acholi) in honor of her birthday! i think it's the big 3-0 (wink wink)!
in the past few weeks it has been the time in the maternity ward which has made me better appreciate the relationship a mother has with her children - most especially her daughter. i have seen mothers spend countless night sleeping on the floor of the ward next to their daughters after they have just undergone surgery or just experienced the pain and beauty of labor for the first time. i have witnessed the relationship women have with each other, which tends to be much different from the women-men and men-men relationships, and i am very thankful to be able to experience that wonderful gift. i have rediscovered it here working with the women at the hospital and want to share a small bit of it with you all.
happy birthday mego!
