The birth of a new life is a miracle of nature. Every mare and her family have their own harrowing tales of a birth in their family... Almost everypony gets their word in regarding their feelings regarding the events following such an event; everypony except for the foal. When Apple Bloom gives birth to a lively baby filly, she's delighted to have a foal to call her own. Alongside a proud father and her siblings, she couldn't be more happy. This isn't the pony-tale of a happy mother, though. Instead this is a blind, innocent newfoal's tale to tell.
First, but seriously when I read this fic I am almost started to tear up and that takes a lot to do. I commend Seven for doing this
That was borderline-diabetes sweet, but without being too much. Very nicely done.
Awww dangit, you beat me to a type of story I was thinking of doing myself.![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
But, to quote Monty Python: It's verra nice!
Hm, not bad. Very good execution of story. Interesting POV also.![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
...Featherweight? Did...What happened to the rest of...What...Where's Twilight and Pinkie and...
SO MANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE SO MANY.
Obviously this means I was emotionally invested in the story so 4/5 stars for you good sir
814979 Thanks. I wrote it as a challenge for myself, really, and I just couldn't help but want to share. I needed to know that I could write something of quality without ever using a character's sense of sight. I also wanted to make something adorable, for whatever reason.![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)

Sorry. Good minds think alike?
814805 Thank you.![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
814993 I considered including more characters and lengthening it, but I was aiming for short and sweet. Anything more and I worried it might detract from the story.![:scootangel:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/scootangel.png)
Aw!
I don't always read sad fics, but when I do, I prefer the ones that give me warm fuzzies.
And boy does this warm my heart.
D'aaaawwwwwwww
I DEMAND A SEQUEL! Maybe like a time skip into the future to see if Ann ever gets her sight or something?
Also, why did you name her Maria Ann Smith? I mean I know with the Smith and stuff, but ponies are usally named after something, the Apple family expecially. It didn't have to be something specifically apple, but I just feel it doesn't fit into the pony naming scheme. If you named her that because of a certain reason, I'm going to feel like a silly pony, but it just didn't seem right when I read it.
Excuse my ranting.![:twilightblush:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightblush.png)
816760 I'm so glad you asked. Maria Ann Smith was the woman who propagated the Granny Smith cultivar.![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
Usually I'm not one for sad fics, but this one was excellently done. Very sweet story
817411 Thanks.
It's actually my first attempt at a first pony perspective fic, and to think, I went with such a... unique viewpoint. ![:derpyderp2:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/derpyderp2.png)
This is good, very good I dare say. I feel emotionaly invested into a very nice, and a very interesting view point.![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
And also d'awwwwww.
Quite an endearing story. You managed the unique viewpoint well in my opinion. The ending leaves one craving more, but in a good way. I would not mind a continuance in the least.

2866719 It's a shame not as many folks see this story.
2866776 That is very true, this should have a lot more views. Also, I know this is just random, but I wanted to also thank you for all of the advice and help you given on the first chapter or prologue of "A New Home" in a comment.![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
2867325 It's really not a problem. More than simply providing help with writing, I like it when writers appreciate my assistance.
A shame one of your readers mistook the down-vote button for the up-vote on that comment.![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
Damn that was cute.
foals are always the cutest things ever.
i like that fic a lot.Kinda hard to dislike a story who make me wish everypony/body have a mother like applebloom.
It's like Apoeticheart stories, makes me wish continue trying for a story on my account.
