What exactly is a miracle?
When I don't really think about it - and I usually don't - I'd think of a miracle as something huge, something completely out of the ordinairy, something that can only be explained by divine intervention. But then, like now, when I do try to think about it, suddenly every single little thing seems a miracle.
A bird, and the sky.
This computer, my eyes.
My hands typing these words.
A sound, and the fact that I can hear it.
A progression of sounds, making a song.
The universe, a grain of sand.
Love. A man, a woman.
A child.
A child. Oh my God. A child!
I'm going to be a father.
A smile.
I'm not easily impressed, but this has got me stunned.
Never have I been more afraid.
Never have I been more hopeful.
Never have I realised the miracle of life as much as right here, right now.

Brilliant post, Dennis. And even more brilliant news. And much as I can imagine you being afraid and all that: congratulations! Good luck to both of you. To the three of you, even.

Thanks everyone! We've got a bit to go (May 20 is what the doctor predicted), but the excitement is already rollercoastering through our lifes!
Congratulations!
And didn't Einstein say that "there are two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
And even though I'm the former most of the time, when I really do think about it even the smallest things seem a miracle :)
wow, congratulations!
belated Congratulations! xox
