Poof! (A dream)

I felt the contractions, the pushing, the pressure.

I heard his first cries of life.

I saw with my own eyes. We had a boy.

I felt his baby fingers and toes. His fuzzy, curly hair.

I smelled his wonderful new-baby smell.

I kissed his beautiful cheeks, and his nose.

I heard my beloved’s voice coo at his new son.

I discussed what we should name him, and I wasn’t so sure about Samuel or Josiah anymore. Was that the name God gave for him?

I cried over complete and utter joy. This was my son.

And then I opened my eyes.

Poof.

Blessings!
