My mother told me a number of times how much she wanted a girl. I assume I was planned. The feeling of having been wanted meant something to me, but not as much as feeling loved in the present. However, it meant a lot when a dear cousin named Lil sent me a letter my father wrote when I was born that showed how happy he was.
