but, to just accept the why nots and proceed forward. 🙂
As much as we prepare for everything, we often find ourselves never truly prepared.
Take for example, today…
1. I decide to make it a day for my daughter by taking her to breakfast.
2. Then I gave her a choice of what to do next. She chose to go for a pedicure. The one she wanted to go to wasn’t open, so we randomly go to another nail salon. Miraculous there was a woman that had worked in OB/GYN who happened to settle some of my daughter’s qualms about having her baby.
3. Afterwards, I went to work and she went off to meet up with her Dad who had just returned from Iraq for a spell.
4. After he left, her water breaks and she races to the hospital where she meets up with her boyfriend and myself.
Long story short….a beautiful life arrives today instead for waiting until the due date. In the midst of things, a bag they had prepared to bring to the hospital is left at home. I didn’t have time to do all the things that I had hoped I would be able to do.
However, all the preparations in the world would have never prepared us truly for the amazing life being brought into this world today. You just accept it, love the new life, and move forward with a commitment towards making this world as safe as possible for that new life.
I am counting this as being completed as such. Wouldn’t you???
