Hi. So, my best friend died.
When she was pregnant, she found out she couldn't breastfeed, so I induced lactation and started to pump for the baby.
When he was 1 month old, she passed away. She was 20, 2 years younger than me. And yet, she left me 340k, an apartment and her baby. She didn't want him to be with anybody else. I guess it's because I was the one who supported her during pregnancy.
The grandmother of the child brang him to me only 3 days after with a pack of diapers. It was the most terrifying night of my life.
She brought his forniture and I painted the spare room in my house blue. I started actually breastfeeding and not sleeping at all. I would cry when he'd cry. I would ask myself why my friend would think I was fit for that. I doubted myself all the time.
It's been half-a-month.
I may not know exactly what I'm doing, but I'm doing my best. For him. For her.
