There are among us those who remember their own birth. The buoyancy of the womb, the struggle to enter the birth channel, the gasp of that first breath and the cry of the light that brought us to this plane.
My birth was documented here at the Yarmouth Hospital. The day I was born there was a great confusion in the delivery room. The nurses ran screaming from the room and left me on my un-conscious birth mother's chest and Dr Fletcher wondering what happened. They told after a great cloud appeared over head and produced lightning that terrified everyone who seen it. My Grand Mother was waiting for my arrival walked in to look what had happened just in time to see the doctor catch me. Everyone at the Bright Spot restaurant came to see the new baby. It is said even Pope John and Prince Charles, both arriving from Halifax, signed the nursery log book that day to say they had seen Beverly Wells. What did I remember about that day? That other people wanted to help me live and become who I Am now.
My birth mother didn't want anything to do with me the next day after I was born as it was said she suffered from " baby blues" and dropped me, wrapped in a blanket, on the floor of her room. The nurses called the family to come. My Grand Mother took me home for the next 16 years to raise with the help of other family, friends and the church.
