My friend delivered a baby boy
named Mich'l and it was an incredible experience. I joked to her that I
saw her son before she did! (I saw his head poking out before he was
born and she didn't have a mirror to see for herself!)

Prebirth memory of boy confirmed by his teacher
My friend and I met as schoolteachers at the
same school several years ago. She was pregnant when we met and chose
me to be present at the birth of her child because she was a single
mother and afraid of being alone. It was a tremendous honor to be
invited into the delivery room because, even though I have children of
my own, it was a fascinating opportunity to see a birth without
experiencing the pain myself!
Tragically,
my friend passed away suddenly just months after her son was born. He
has been raised by her parents ever since. The boy now goes to the
school where his mother and I taught and this year he is in my 4th Grade
class. It is with a heavy heart that I teach him each day. I have
never told him that I was there for his birth because I didn't want the
other students to think that he had special treatment and I didn't want
to upset him with thoughts of his mother. Perhaps his grandparents told
him that I was there, but I'm not sure. He does know, however, that
his mom and I were friends. (This makes sense because he knows that she
used to teach at our school.)
