No matter the amount of stress, pain, hunger, exhaustion, frustration, anger, sadness or fear of what may happen in the near future; there are two moments that make everything alright. Better then alright, beautiful.

When I watch him sleep, he is so gorgeous. Yes, his appearance. But, more then that. He is gorgeous for everything that he does, that is he. All the small and big gestures. And everything in between. I watch him sleep and I know he will be a great father, and more importantly, a wonderful dad.

Then he wakes and every morning he asks how I'm doing. He has such a look of concern, of worry, of love. He holds me tight in his strong arms, against his heart so close that I'm unsure who's heart beat belongs to who. Then our breaths sync so beautifully together. For just a moment. And he kisses me. On my neck, shoulder, cheek and forehead. We kiss, lips to lips. And it feels just like the very first moment we kissed. It's all love, intimacy, peace, happiness.

I can't wait for the moment I will see our son in his arms. They will be so beautiful together. So perfect.

And that keeps me going. Keeps us going. Because we both know, though a single moment may be difficult...

...We have so many more to appreciate and love in return.
