…I thought that now, at one year later, I would finally have words for this.
Words for what it felt like to hold her, outside of my body, for the very first time.
Words for what it felt like to look at her living, breathing soul.
But I don’t.
I still have no words — only awe,
only wonder,
only joy.
So, so much joy.
To God be the glory, great things He has done!
