Birth

My daughter is a mother.

I witnessed the birth just six days ago.

I witnessed the miracle of a child, my grandchild, entering the world.

I witnessed my daughter examining, adoring and loving her son.

Awe surrounded us all.

I gave thanks.

From the bottom of my heart, I gave praise to the Lord...

for her son,

for my grandson,

and for God's son.

Unfathomable joy fills her heart.

Joy, so great, fills my heart too.

Our family circle has grown at the coming of one tiny boy.

My daughter is a mother.

Her life will never be the same.
