In the middle of the night

It's dark, it's quiet, and you're up again. It can feel like you're the only person awake anywhere. You're not. Plenty of other moms are up right now too, doing exactly this.

This stretch feels endless while you're inside it. It isn't. Nights like this one always end, even the long ones.
