I am trying to get the whole story down about my lil bit's birth up to present, but some things happen that I just have to tell.
I am going on vacation tomorrow. I VERY much needed vacation. I am meeting my two best friends from college down in Dallas for a couple days. We are going to take in 2 Red Sox v Ranger's games. We are getting together without any wives or children for the first time in about 7 years. I think it will be good for us. Kind of a 'testosterone fest'.
However, for the two months, I have been beaten down by work. It has affected me physically and mentally. Yesterday, I was just getting it from all ends. People were calling me, yelling, complaining, and just trying to make it impossible for me to reach the end of the day. So I just go home for lunch. I needed a break. I am sitting at the dining room table and eating with my wife and lil bit eating next to me. I was eating in a sort of dejected way. Kind of like the world has it out for me. I was feeling like I wouldn't be able to make it through the day without a complete mental meltdown. Then all of a sudden, I look over at lil bit in her high chair. She wasn't making any noise, just sitting there eating. She then looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes, and did one thing that just made it feel like God himself sent her down to do this. She just looked at me and smiled. Not like an infant smiles, just like an 'everything is gonna be okay' smile. I couldn't help but smile back. That was all I needed to understand two things.
1. God HAD to put her in my life, no other explanation.
2. By some divine intervention, she had sensed my frustration and knew just what daddy needed.
All I needed was that smile, and for a fleeting moment, everything went away and I knew that I was going to be OK.
Thanks lil bit.
Daddy.
