I looked down at him ande physically felt my eyes glaze over! He was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, no word of a lie.

kgc, I did not see my son till about 5 hours after he was born (long story). I cannot describe the feeling, all I can say is I never knew that I would ever love someone so much I would lay my life down without a second thought.

I think I can explain better.. At that moment I understood what true love was and why people say you feel it in your heart cos i could feel mine right at that moment gone and checked on him - sleeping blissfully

Norash · 14/07/2005 00:57

Oh kgc, I hope I meet the next one within the next year
