dear baby,
what a beautiful time to arrive.
in the middle of the unknown,
in the midst of the chaos,
in between change and transition,
it’s the right time for you.
you will feel our togetherness
and our imperfect way of living.
you will enter the world when it’s hurting
and yet, you will amplify its beauty
in the way you open your eyes
and stretch your fingers
and smile at us.
I want you to know, baby
that your world is messy.
and in between the mess
is love, is empathy, is resilience.
the mess fuels the human spirit and binds us as one.
so what a beautiful time to arrive, baby.
in the middle of the magic, the journey, and the mess that is life.
