How I became a single mum..

So this is it..I'm a parent now. A single mum...
Today, 21.01.2010, a new soul came into my life. He must be the best thing ever happened to me.
Goodness, look at him, he's only few hours old and already having his first cigarette and a proper meal and..and his cutting his own toe nails!! What a perfect son!

Let me tell you a story how he came into my life

On the second of October 2009 a dear friend came to England. She didn't come to visit, she came to stay..for a while. And , well you know how these things just..HAPPEN..one thing leads to another and..
Anyway - between unpacking, drinking her first tea in England and catching up with the latest, it all happened. I wasn't expecting it, I wasn't even ready. Jesus, if I think about it back now - I think I even hadn't shaved my legs..
She looked straight into my eyes and handed me these things. Without these things he wouldn't be here right now..She handed me a pair of colourful striped woollen bobby-sox!
She had made those by herself!
The affection was slow to grow because of me not being the biggest fan of woollen stuff. At first they lived in my drawer, then day by day they got closer..I started to wear them. The winter came, cold and loneliness sneaked into my heart and I fell in love with them. After I slept with them..with both of them..
Everything was perfect - I was happy again, I wasn't freezing anymore and most of all - I wasn't alone anymore! We spent all our nights together. As a big happy family..
Until this fatal day..when I decided to do my laundry and being lazy enough my socks found themselves trapped inside of a deadly washing machine..they shrank..the size decreased three times..they were gone..
And all I could hear my friend saying, the creator of these magical things, was: " Shame..."
We went to bed. It was the longest night..
On the next day my friend decided to bring them back to life..I was sceptical until I saw her working..the scissors were crackling, thread was running, fluff was hovering over her head and after an hour - HE WAS BORN!
A sock monkey made by Anu - Smonkey Nuna! My precious!!!
He will be my travel buddy, he will come everywhere with me. I will never leave him..
Only me and him. Together we will conquer the world! Me and Smonkey Nuna
