My First Sight of Him
Tension filled the air. The feeling that something important was about to happen kept my shoulders tensed and my hands fisted in my lap. I sat in an uncomfortable chair, my eyes wide, my heart pounding. Why had I agreed to this? I never was one for stress, nor did I handle it well.
I had no idea what to expect. Oh, I knew I was meeting someone of the male persuasion for the first time, but I had no idea of those things most people want to know: how tall he'd be, how much he'd weigh, what color hair, did he even have hair? It was too late to back out, I was about to discover the answers to those burning questions.
A nicely dress man entered the room. He was quite handsome, I thought, and my heart fluttered when he signaled for me to join him. "Stand right here," he said as he moved closer to the only other woman in the room. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I followed his instructions and stood, my legs wobbly, my hands shaking. I guess I was expected to do something since I showed up.
It didn't take long before I knew I'd made the right choice. I was so glad I came. The doctor turned from my daughter-in-law's side and placed my new grandson in my arms. "Hear you go, grandma."
Turning pinker by the moment, he didn't cry, he didn't fuss, instead Spencer's gaze searched my face despite the overhead hospital light shining in his dark eyes, making them look like ebony gems. Although they say newborns don't smile, I swear his tiny lips curled as if to say, "I'm here, Grandma and I know you'll love me so much your heart'll hurt. You know what? He was right? The minute I first saw him my love blossomed and it's grown stronger ever day since that moment nine years ago. My Spencer! My Love!

That was beautiful! What a wonderful memory to have. I felt that way when I was three months pregnant and my daughter started to hiccup during the ultra sound. Instant love!

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightfully different approach to the Valentine Day love theme. So often the focus is love as in sex., we forget the many other manifestations of love. This is a great reminder.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the Hop and giveaway.

Awesome twist and so true, Marian
ReplyDeleteRight with you girl! Although in my case, his name is Austin and though i was supposed to be there when he was born, he decided to do a 180 and was in what's called transverse lie breach position -- as, he was lying on his side, horizontally, like he was a teenager taking a nap on the couch! Thank God for modern medicine and C-sections, even if I couldn't be there at delivery!
ReplyDeleteGreat interview ,good luck with the blog hop. Deb P
