Baby Return

When the narrator’s dad was a little kid, he surprised his mom by saying something unexpected. The young boy told her that he had almost been born before but got very sick and died. For this reason, he had to come back later. This revelation profoundly surprised his mother since she had suffered a miscarriage before his birth.

It was believed at the time that the loss had occurred due to medication she had taken. The connection between the lost baby and her eventual son seemed astonishing and thought-provoking. Could it be possible that the soul of the lost baby had found its way back through the birth of her son?
