You arrived.
It took a while…
But finally, you came into our lives.
You fought,
As did she.
There was an endless pause,
For that redeeming first scream.
Filled with anxious moments,
And then… relief, for HE breaths.
She let her body release all.
She sleeps, wounded and broken, for a dream was shattered; expectations that were left aside.
Born again, as a MOM.
She lies across the corridor from her son.
He lies on the other side of the world from his mom.
And there is a man, now a DAD.
That brought back together, what was never meant to part.
He weeps for her, he weeps for him; he dreams of the tender touch of the mother he grieves.
Now you stand, as a Mom, as a Dad.
With a boy, that will walk down the path you choose to take.
The path you take, at times, might seem like a mistake.
But remember this, life is built upon standing behind all the good, and all the bad.
Count on the fact, that you might feel lost.
And then found…
As you now have the whole world within you.
You have the whole world to discover together.
Your yesterdays you knew then, are now gone,
But today... like every day from now on...
You will discover life, again and again.
Together you have it all.
And to you little Ari,
Thank you for the joy you have brought to our hearts.
Our baby lion,
Strong, and so LOVED!
Me & my new nephew, Ari ♡
