daughter's birth certificate

I have a very important moment in my life. It was when my daughter was born. At that time I was alone. Even so, I remember it very well. That day was my birthday and I was turning 17 years old. No one could stay with me that night so I spent my daughter’s first day and the first experience of motherhood alone in the hospital. I put her on top of me so she could sleep, and I could feel her. It was a very special feeling for me. Then, the next day, everyone came to see her but I already had my special moment with her. This card describes the date and characteristics of my daughter.
