Things had been busy earlier in the day. My mom had stopped by along with my husband’s brother’s family to see our little wonder. They had all enjoyed getting to meet JDaniel and hold him for the first time.
It was wonderful share him with others but, there was something so special about our being here just the three of us. It was just our family. JDaniel was the baby we had hoped and prayed for when we decided to start a family a year earlier.
Out of nowhere my husband started singing On the Day That Your Were born to our little man.
Why do birds suddenly appear,
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you……
Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be,
close to you………
On the day that you were born the angels got together,
And decided to create a dream come true,
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue…
That is why, all the girls in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you…….

Close to you………
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you………
I hadn’t heard the song in years. It was perfect for that moment. It encompassed everything we both were thinking and feeling.
It will be a memory that stays with me forever.
