I am sitting here this morning listening to the song By Your Side. (10th Ave North) A fantastic christian inspired song that sorta makes me think of a lost child walking wondrously in the streets. You see, the thing that makes this situation real; is that I now take that girl that walks wondrously in that street on a cold raining day and I see my daughter.
Ella is now 15 days old. People will tell you that you would never know how much you love something until you have your own child. That is true. However, most won't tell you that as a father, your connection with that child comes a week or so later. I remember how confident I was going into that L&D room. I was nervous; mainly because I am a worrier by nature. Overall I felt pretty good. Most of you that know me, know that I have a macho look about me during most times, but inside I am a basket case waiting for my cup to flow over.
I did feel like I would get to emotional when Ella was born, however..... Something came over me when that little girl popped out. The tears started flowing. What a joyous occasions.
The Lord himself has this system in place. For conception to Birth........wow! Out pops this wonderful SINLESS child.
I have found myself on many occasions since then just to stare at here and cry too. Because my Friends.... Today... "It is oh so real". Ella born on 7-17-09 to the arms of her parents, the parents that she does not truly know as of yet. It will be my responsabilty as a father, to make sure that her view of her mother and myself, memics that of God our Father.
Watch your childs stomach move up and down, him/her look at you with those big eyes, and those legs and arms move. It's all so real........ But, this is not the rest of the story.
