the pregnant woman

Yesterday, a woman arrived in the village coming out of nowhere. She was pregnant and the labor had started already. Pierre and I had to react really fast. We still don’t know either where she comes from or how she managed to find her way through the equatorial forest by herself in her state. The baby’s doing well with his 2.9 Kilos. As I was taking care of him, I found myself wondering how much I’d love to have one of my own. But this thought flew away quickly. Always look on the bright side of life tells the song. This is our motto here too.
