Everyday I’m amazed at how one little man can change the way we live our lives. For every trying moment there is a peaceful moment of love that fills my heart with more joy than I could have ever imagined. There will always be milestones in our lives: First Dates, Engagement, Marriage and more. None of them compare to when I’m sitting in the nursery rocking Timothy to sleep and he looks up at me with those big blue eyes, yawns his biggest yawn, then relinquishes himself to sleep in my arms. It’s one of the most precious moments that I am blessed enough to experience daily. Being a Radio DJ, all throughout pregnancy, Timothy experienced my 5-hour radio show and then some from the womb, and now he seems to be comforted by music. So we rock and sing. Sometimes, we even dance around the livingroom. Our playlist varies from day to day. Lately, Edwin McCain’s “I Could Not Ask For More” is the song I sing softly to him. Of Course, I never make it through a full verse and chorus before there are tears streaming down my face and I have a smile that never ends.
…Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more …
I have been listening to Pandora alot lately and have a Joshua Kadison Station that also plays alot of Travis, Bryan Adams, Train, Jim Brickman and more. It’s very coffeehouse-esc without the overly ecclectic. It reminds me of my high school days. Last night Charlie was dancing around the living room with Timothy in his arms to a little Bryan Adams “Heaven” then it came on; Edwin McCain. I turn to Charlie and as I’m about to tell him that this is the very song I sing to Timothy each night, I hear Charlie softly singing it and there are tears streaming down his face. I look down and I see our labrador, Addison, sitting at his feet looking up at them. It was a beautiful moment that to others might have appeared to only be a dad singing to his son, but to me it was the reason we are put here on this earth. Those big blue eyes look to us for everything. There is this enormous world out there and Charlie and I are here to be his everything til one day, Timothy will be grown and go into this world to start a family of his own. A family that he will be able to share these quiet moments with and feel the amazing love and blessings that we do now.
