Smothered with Love

My son was a really ugly newborn. After his first week of life, he became a thin, balding alien man going through puberty. He lost all his hair and developed baby acne. I refused to take any photos of him. Partially because he never stopped crying. Also, he never slept so I never slept. But despite everything, I did not smother him with a pillow. This is what it's like to love a child.
