I loved the snow, I could sit by the window for hours staring at the snowflakes as they changed the entire landscape- from green and brown to spotless white. My friends loved the sun and hated winters, they thought I am weird.
Then one day, Jamie broke up with me on a snowy winter night. It was the worst night of my life, I started detesting winters. They reminded me of heartbreak.
5 years later, one winter night, Neil was born. A new memory, life’s most precious moment which I sealed in my heart forever. Winters are special again.

The complete attention from the child will be diverted post that age generally. But it could continue beyond that, mine was a general remark

Thanks.
According to a study, on very snowy nights there is 310% more conception than rejection.
Cheers.
