Song Without Words
Love Comes In Really Small Packages
How can someone so small sap the strength of the strongest man. Nothing compares to the ability of a newborn baby to liquefy the heart of a father or grandfather. There is something intangible about a baby that affirms love with complete precision.
Reality started to set in for me when I wandered through the baby shower. I was like a boy at Christmas who gets socks and underwear for a gift. Where the heck are the cars, action figures, and stuff that needs batteries. Trust me, girls baby bedding does not need batteries. Man, babies are really boring and baby shower gifts seem to be more functional than fun.
My eyes surveyed the room. The britax car seat was swamped with torn open paper and ribbons. My wife eased into a stuffed chair next to another pile of colorful boxes. She allowed me one of her patented half-amused smiles. I fell in love with her again that very moment.
Long after my wife went to bed I moved the bedding collections from the table to the couch. I sat in front of the computer with a full heart and clear screen. That is where my emotional record keeping began. It ended when my daughter was born and came home from the hospital and I was officially a father.
I am not an emotional guy. To me it was simply magical that we could make a life. I wrote about life, love, loss, sharing and other things that I wanted to share with my baby. It grew to be a collection of ordinary thoughts from an average man, about an extraordinary mother and daughter.
I talked about coming to terms with your life partner on all major issues prior to selecting a spouse. This included whether hitting the hamper is kind of important or is it critical to a happy marriage. I also covered how to hang the toilet paper, squeezing toothpaste from the bottom of the tube, and drinking milk straight from the carton.
You will not find my commemorated thoughts on the bestseller list. My journal is only revered by family. I presented this online diary to my wife after the baby was born. She read out loud the portions that she found most appealing. She said one of my best lines was not in the journal. She said it was in the inscription that thanked her for bringing ‘Harmony’ into our lives. In every possible way.
