She's here! The long awaited cherub has finally arrived! Aeries Lyn made her debut yesterday afternoon amid a flurry of activity in the birthing room. Oh, the joy to hold this precious gift from God, oh the joy to have the waiting over and the expectation fulfilled! There's nothing quite like gazing upon the face of your grandchild to realize how much love can fill your heart. My son, Daddy E, reminded me of his father at that stage, looking so proud and also so intimidated by this little child who will rely on him to take care of her for the next 18 or so years.
Can anyone describe the exhilaration of childbirth? First the uncomfortable waiting, then the painful patience, then the anxious anticipation, the work, the sweat, the mess, and finally the fulfillment! No other experience takes us humans through such a labyrinth of emotions.
I have to go hold my grandbaby now.
