A year ago...




Was very happy to know today that a close family friend delivered a baby girl. Decided to visit them in the evening and that visit did bring in a lot of sweet memories. The long corridors, patient rooms, sophisticated hospital bed, patient gown, a black and white poster that read- This is where "life" begins - everything, still looks the same.
It seems like just yesterday, that we walked out of there, carrying our tiny bundle as she laid cuddled in my arms, wrapped tight in a butter cream fur blanket with a blue and pink striped cap that covered her eyes half way through. When I saw my friend's baby, couldn't help thinking;"Was our little one that small too once upon a time"? Do they really come in such a tiny package?" Well I guess they do- after all Good things always come in small packages !
It's just that during the race against time, we tend to forget the intial moments and before we realize we would be busy making plans on how to celeberate their first Birthday !
Had a nice chat with her sharing my experience on each and every little thing I could recollect. As we decided to leave, was overjoyed to meet the nurse who helped us in delivering our baby. What a nice way to end our visit !
On the way back while driving, couldn't help thinking how blessed I am just like the rest of the mothers to expereince this unique gift of life- motherhood. God bless every mother and mother-to-be!
Happy Mothers Day
