Nothing Like An Unexpected Newborn

Some of the most wonderful surprises happen in the form of a human newborn.

When they get here, life as we know it is meaningless, redundant, and absurd.

Nothing is ever the same because there is another person, a unique life form.

A baby breathes new life into a family, brings a new song never before heard.

My mother, my daughter, and I were all blessed with an unexpected newborn.

One of our most favorite blessings, the surprise of surprises, we have all concurred.
