Love wasn’t something that I ever felt before. I knew how to love because I loved my Yaya more than life. I knew that I could love because the baby I had grown within me and now held I loved her more than I loved myself. As I watched this man sleep peacefully beside me one arm around me keeping me close I knew that I loved him. I knew that I could see forever with him and I knew that he would kill any and everything moving when it came to protecting me.
