She Is Here

Finally, after months of waiting and speculation on "girl or boy", she is here. Seven and a half pounds of pure joy. As my son puts it, "The most beautiful little girl I ever saw". In a few hours, we will be heading to Massachusetts to meet the newest and most important member of our family. She was born on a lucky day, 12/12/12. Her parents will give her a wonderful life. Now my son will finally see how it is to love someone instantly and unconditionally. He will understand why parents act as selflessly as they do. He will understand why, at 31 years old, I still stare at him and cannot believe how much I love him. I know I will cry when I meet my granddaughter. It will be love at first sight.
