Some emotions are indescribable.
Sometimes, words simply cannot express your feelings. They can’t do justice to how you’re feeling inside. It doesn’t matter how hard you try, there are times, when words are impossible to find to capture the mood.
Holding your child for the first time is one of those moments and I’ve been lucky enough to be at the birth of all three of my children.
All three were very different births, but there came a time for each of them when I had the chance to just sit quietly with them, holding them as though they were the most fragile ornament this earth as ever seen.
All three were born in hospital, but the surroundings were irrelevant.
That moment…
That moment that a father sits holding his child for the first time is magical…
Those three occasions that I sat holding my children for the first time…
Were all magical!
Unforgettable.
Indescribable.
A time to thank God.
A time to reflect.
A time to make promises.
Yes…
All of those things…
But also a time to just sit and to connect with a tiny person that will change your life more than anyone, or anything else, ever will.
A time to sit and be as one with each other.
A time to be at peace together…
That will likely never happen again.
Love overflows…
Emotions overflow…
And time stops.
Nothing outside that room matters.
Nothing outside that room gets a second thought…
Not for now…
Not as you hold your little bundle of joy for the first time.
Throughout my life, I’ve been fortunate enough to have many memorable moments…
Some of them life changing…
Some of them happy…
Some of them sad.
But nothing…
Absolutely nothing…
Compares to those moments that I held my three children for the first time.
I’m not saying they were the most important moments in my life…
I’m not saying they were better than any other moment…
But holding each of my children for the first time was a unique moment…
One of those rare moments in my life when my unconscious mind joined with my conscious thoughts…
A moment of true connection.
A moment when two became one.
A moment when just being was all that mattered.
Three moments that will live in my memory for ever.
