I was 4 years old at the time and got out of bed one night, looking for my mom and dad. I was too small to reach the light for the staircase, so I called out, "MOMMY?". In seconds, her and dad were sitting at the top of the stairs.
They must have thought I heard something, because I asked, "What are you doing?" My dad answered, "We were making babies".
I asked, "How do you make babies?"..and he said, "When you love someone very, very much...that's how babies are made"..and from there, my Mom and Dad asked me to come up and cuddle with them.
We all sat there at the top of the stairwell and the three of us cuddled for, what seemed like forever!!
Months later, when my mom was getting close to giving birth, my dad took me aside and said, "Remember the night when we cuddled on the stairs and loved each other sooo much?...well, because you, Mommy, and me...loved each other sooo very much...you're going to have a new little sister."
Nobody can even imagine the pride I felt, thinking that I had a part in loving my mom and dad sooo much that I'd get a new "little sister"!!
