I left at 3:45 this morning to pick-up our friends Jimmy and Melissa to take them to the airport so they can go to California for the birth of their soon-to-be SON. (up until last night at dinner we thought it was a girl... he's going to look might cute wearing that sweater I bought him, y'all)
It's so rewarding getting to be on the "outside" watching this process...this blessing...unfold. It conjures up all the anticipation and excitement Keith and I had going to get Daniel and my stomach is in knots for them as they embark on this new chapter in their lives. As we left their house this morning, it was surreal to know it will not be just the two of them residing there when they return. Soon there will be a little person sharing that space...and their hearts.
You know, it's funny when you think about how this whole love thing works. You have two people that are sharing life together. Then you bring a child into the picture and logic would make it seem like their hearts and love would then be divided...no longer solely focused on each other. But, it's quite the opposite. For us, the love we had for each other actually multiplied when we brought Daniel home. It strengthened our love for each other as we jointly sought to meet the needs of this wonderful new creature in our lives.
I am overjoyed that there are two people waiting to board a plane to California right this moment that are on the verge of discovering this for themselves. I'm an ecstatic bystander and can't wait to share in their joy...

I remember you leaving to get Daniel and how special it was when the three of you came home! How exciting that you get to share in the excitement from the other side with a complete understanding of how Jimmy and Melissa feel! I'm saying a prayer for them as they go to meet their new son!
