This little angel is now one month old. The nine months it took to prepare her body for Earth were very difficult for me. Time seemed to tick at an usually slow pace. Now she is here, a perfect little infant. She makes me smile and my heart is overwhelming content.
A friend of mine told mine that little Norine would be a gift. My friend was right. She is the most incredible gift I have ever known. I have such a feeling of joy and peace when I gaze into her eyes, watch her sleep, change her diapers, or wake with her at night.
I called my mother yesterday and asked her how can I make time stop? Can she just stay little a bit longer? She said if you can figure that one out, let me know. What a beautiful little babe. My cup truly runneth over with a love beyond belief.
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
William Wordsworth
