A Short Visit

Some things don't last nearly as long as you wish they would. Time and circumstance conspire to rob you of these precious hours and minutes you have been given. But in these fleeting moments a lifetime can be lived. A lifetime of hopes, a lifetime of dreams, a lifetime of wishes...a lifetime of love. A little boy born too soon, the least of his challenges as it turns out, changed so many lives. In his short visit, he created a Mother, the kind who could look past his tubes and machines to see the most beautiful baby she had ever seen. In his short visit he turned a man into a Father, a title he'd been hoping for for so long. In his short visit a lifetime was lived.
