A child is born

Some years ago...a small soul(5lbs, 5oz) took her place in world, on Mother's Day to boot. Eventhough she could have gone home, her mother, a student at university had three weeks of classes and no one to take care of the precious baby at home. The doctor and mother came to the agreement that little baby, Jaime, should stay in the hospital until mom could finish school. Strangely enough, Jaime, was found to have jaundice and had to be kept hospitalized for three weeks. Amazing how it came about...Except for one thing, the mother, collected Jaime after only a week. She couldn't be apart any longer, it was too difficult.

So, Jaime went to school with her mom. The school was not too keen on having a wailing child in its classes, but Jaime never did end up crying in class. She already had a fine education, having gone to university with her mother to listen to the anthropology and art instructors for the last nine months. But now she lay in her bassenett beside her mom's chair to soak in the knowledge for herself. Jaime's mom is convinced that the little baby girl listened to these lectures too. She'd look down at Jaime to check how she was doing and Jaime's little face would be turned upward paying attention to all being said. Jaime also became a model for her mom's fellow classmates, aspiring artists, and there are works of her all over the world. Model and student at three weeks old...


Mom finished her courses and I got a head start on my education. Thanks, Mom!
