dear pump

Dearest Breast Pump,

I'm not sure what I would have done without you these last 10 months. We didn't see each other very often during those first 4 months, but when we got together, you really eased my pain and made me feel very comfortable. The 6 months following brought about a very tight connection between you and I. One could say we were attached at the, well....

We were together almost every day - several times a day. I brought you with me to work, on vacation, to jury duty, even to the 'rents house on Christmas day. I washed your parts every night - more often than I washed my own offspring. I tried to take good care of you, and in return you never let me down.

Now it's time for me to pack you away. I think you have earned a little alone-time...a little down-time.

But don't get too comfortable, I will be calling on you again in 7 months. I hope you'll be ready to perform for me like you have in the past.

Forever grateful,
Barbie
