babies

As I write this, I have just received word that my friend Marj has given birth to her panganay. Babies are such a marvel. They are such tiny beings and yet one unabated crying can make a roomful of adults frantic with worry. Come to think of it, when a baby is born, he/she is measured by the centimeters and grams and yet he/she will be the biggest part in the life of any parent. Every time will be a first time, a wondrous moment.
My kids are all growing up now. Certainly past the infant stage but each one remains our baby.
Congrats Marj and Carlos. Time to start a new chapter.
