Here is Joy:

Seeing your sister, for the first time with the eyes of a mother, hold her brand-new baby. 

I have stalked my sister Julia and her family through the years -- inevitably following her to wherever her little family resided. 

So I have been there shortly after the birth of every one of her children (Mr. M I saw late ... London calling). But today was the first time I saw her with her beautiful baby knowing full well everything she and her body went through to hold her little love. 

It was one of life's precious moments.

I hear that noise! You really don't understand the joys of motherhood until you have given birth! It is truly a miracle. Yeah for Julia! I am not as patient as her!
