But on that 15th day of January, 2009

It was the first time that I had held a half-an-hour old baby in my 25 yr old hands.

It was the first time that I had felt the presence of God so close.

It was the first time that I felt nature so close.

It was the first time that I felt a miracle so close.

It was the first time that I had felt the power of conception is the biggest gift given to a women.

It was the first time I had thanked God for having made me a women.

It was the first time for so many things that I am short of words to express them here...

From this day onwards...

It is now everyday that I hold a new born baby in my hands and keep admiring her sleeping face.

It is now everyday that I enjoy the pleasure of sitting idle and watch the baby playing.

It is now everyday that I get the chance to change nappies of my new born niece.

It is now everyday that I look forward to evening approaching fast.

It is now everyday that I wait for the office to get over.

It is now everyday that I pray to God that we are not stranded at any red light.

It is now everyday that I thank God for having given me a beautiful niece.

It is now everyday that I see the twinkle in my mom's, dad's eyes when they hold up their first grand-child.

It is now everyday that I thank God...just simply.
