THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE -




The day my son was born was the best of all my days.
I have never felt better in my life.

I remember being so nervous and worried, so anxious, waiting for
the big day.
Then when I saw him come into the world, so tiny, so perfect,
it was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed.

Nothing else could even come close.

I was so proud of my wife and so happy for her too.
I saw that baby for the first time, and everything just changed.
Talk about love at first sight!
I remember feeling so happy that I was floating.

I called all my brothers and a few friends, and just beamed over
the phone to them, even though it was in the wee hours of the
morning.

I remember my Father-in-law in the waiting room, congratulating
me and laughing at how goofy I was acting, telling me to calm
down.

As I floated down the corridor to go home, I walked by this little
room they have set up as a chapel.

I got a few steps beyond the door, stopped dead in my tracks,
turned around and walked back in.

I knelt down and thanked God.

Never so happy or grateful in my life.
As I drove home with tears streaming down my face,
it started snowing.

I slowed down, and drove home very carefully,
reminding myself that I was someone's dad now,

and smiling at the thought of it.
