the next generation Tonight I saw my brother and his wife's baby girl for the very first time and I'm not quite sure how to describe the experience. They had sent photos via email to everyone in the family, but that image on a computer screen doesn't compare to seeing this little person in my brother's arms. There she was eyes wide open and arms randomly moving as everyone watched her. What does one say to capture that moment? This is the second grandchild for my parents and I have no idea how many more might be on the horizon. What I do know is that it is still odd for me to think of my brother as being a father. I don't think that he shouldn't be a parent, it just takes some adjustment to the mental image I have of him. |
