A Light Cross..
Sweetie-pie Dr. Koop,
I am sorry it’s enchanted me over 6 years to write this letter. I am unfailing you don’t even remember us at this point. You see so many babies, children, mothers. You see so many tears of despondency. Of hope.
As a new mother, I think I expected what every mother does – a accurate, healthy baby. Is that selfish of me? So to assent to on her 2nd day of life that something was wrong.

Because when my 2nd indulge arrived with the very same imperfection and there I was again 2 years later in your purpose sobbing for my woes, I sure have a mind you would’ve shaken some sense into me. Now as a practised mother, I should know better. Purity comes in so many shapes and sizes. Babies are all fulfil, no matter what.
And while it’s not for me, for you, to judge whose fractious to bear is heavier…I, as a watch over, should know better.
