of course, I knew that a baby would change everything. I thought I knew what everything meant.
I knew my heart would expand that memories of my childhood and my daughter's childhood would all come back to me.
That I would see life full circle a thanksgiving rich with memories of my grandparents, my parents, my brothers,
aunts, uncles, cousins, son, daughter, and husband.
I knew that I would want to hold Gabriel endless hours from the first rays to the last flicker of light,
and that I would be able to be better than I am because the path would be easier to follow with innocent love leading me.
But somehow somewhere a door opened a passage unfolded
As if my feet become wings light filled every single cell in my body — in my heart — oh God my soul.
A baby that tiny little wonderment, that magical mystical baby…
Life has expanded beyond my imagination what was past, and the present and those tomorrows that I will never ever know
blended into something I never expected nor knew.
Let's just call it the Big Bang, a firework of indescribable love.
