The moment Josh put Liam by my head after he was delivered I had one thought...I didn't say it out loud because I was sure it would leave the nurses and doctors with the thought that I am crazy. I thought, "this is the one Grandpa sent me." The first few days after he was born, when I found myself alone with Liam, I would whisper in his ear, do you remember that Grandpa chose you for me?
Now, a week and a half later, as I sit and hold this sweet baby, I smell the scent of my grandma's perfume...she was here earlier in the week and we are unable to bathe him yet because of his umbilical cord. I had the thought, you were sent by my Grandpa and you smell like my Grandma...with that thought came a tightness of the chest that can only be understood if you have indeed felt it. It also left me wondering, did God part the clouds and let Grandpa peek down this week when Grandma was sitting and holding Liam, the one he and God sent to me? I believe he did.
