Life

Guest blogger: Sylvia

We're finally here. The second round. I wondered how I would feel-- would this be as exciting as the first? Can you believe it? It was even better. I asked myself, how could it be? But the answer came quickly, as I looked down at Christine. My love for her grows every second of every minute of every hour of every day. The love I had in that room was enormous. As I pushed the plunger I felt a sense of.... well, let's just say my heart was smiling bigger than it has ever smiled before. I was so happy when the doctor and the nurse left the room, for it was then that Christine and I could truly enjoy the moment. The moment that we might be creating life.

Life, what a beautiful word. To be able to share the sunshine, the sound of ocean waves, the smell of rain, and all of God's gifts with a child is a simply amazing thought. If it takes, I do pray that this child will know that every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every year we will love him or her. I know we will respect this child and we will honor this child the way life should be honored, the way God intended.
