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…….

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.
This is such a beautiful memory. Happy Birthday JDaniel; hope your day is as special as you are!
So sweet! I can remember my husband and I playing with W in the wee hours of the morning just because he was so new and wonderful! Happy Birthday, JDaniel!
What a neat memory! We have a children’s book called On the Day You Were Born.
Awww, what a sweet memory.
What a lovely memory…
That song is just perfect.
I love this. Absolutely beautiful.
That just gave me goose bumps! Happy Birthday to your little guy…:) Can’t wait to hear all about the birthday festivities…is his birthday today?
Oh how sweet- and how wonderful you’ve written the memory down for JDaniel to read someday! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful memory of a very special day. Sounds like the perfect way to welcome a new baby.

That gave me goosebumps. What a beautiful story.
I love that this is a daddy signing to his son!

That first time alone. As a new family. So precious.

So simple, but so huge in it’s beauty.
