Lately, I have been reading Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts. As Kieran enters the last month of his first year, I decided to list some of the gifts we have celebrated since that wonderful March day as a sort of countdown to his very first birthday:
5. Receiving a gift with open hands, not knowing this little person we would meet.
6. The joy of meeting this person who has never seen sky, never breathed air, never known life on the outside, and learning--for the first time--that you have a son.
7. Hearing those tiny, mewling cries of their first days and realizing that crying could never (nor probably would it ever) sound so dear.
