sigh.
and I will sit and stare at it for a while...
that feeling of accomplishment. of satisfaction.
actualization of a dream. a design.
it fills the chest with pride.
and then you just stare at it.
... ... ...
well, I just stare at it.
soaking it in until I realize that I am wasting time.
but it was something you created (with His help of course)...
... ... ...
and this is not even a child.
so I cannot imagine the sheer joy that birth will bring for so many people in the coming months.
when I write a good program with good documentation, I look over it with awe for a good minute or so, admiring my own genius.
heh heh heh...
so I will probably be one of those parents who do not get sleep for the first few nights after the birth of my child (which will be years away, people) because I will stay up and gaze... in awe, admiration, filled with joy and happiness, and love...
I can imagine the love...
flowing from a bottomless well...
and I am positive that what I imagine has nothing on the real thing...
sigh.
... ... ...
and here I sit, staring... because I made I document that I liked...
how silly is that?
very, I guess...
... ... ...
when I write something which is relatively good...
or draw something of which is a rather good likeness...
or build anything which is both functional and aesthetic...
or when I figure out the in's and out's of that new toy that I just got, because it was useless thirty minutes ago, but now is the coolest thing this side of sliced bread...
and these have nothing on the gift of bringing a life into this world...
... ... ...
good job, rob and ellen... (mostly ellen, since she had to do the tough stuff...)
God smiles upon you this day...
Gob Bless you and your new son...
