It came through in a text message – yes, a text message! My first grandchild (a boy) is expected to enter the world in about three weeks, but last week there he was on my ipad. A beautiful face with a just-right nose and rosebud lips, 7 lbs. 9 oz., a hand at his cheek, all right there on the screen.
I love him already.
At first all I could do was marvel at the incredible technology that is capable of creating such a clear image from a sonogram. I could spend as much time as I wanted gazing at this little face whose name I don’t yet know. Then I suddenly realized that I have seen this face before, about 37 years ago on a warm May evening when my son was born. The similarities between father and son are remarkable.
I love him already.
I don’t know what other amazing things are in store for us as we get to know this wonderful new little person. Many, I hope. Technology will keep us close. One thing I do know…
I love him already.
Imagine the Possibilities 
What an amazing moment. Your slice brought tears to my eyes.
