Isn't it weird how life changes without us even realizing?
Events that were so anticipated, events that forever change how we live, and who we are, slowly, gradually, ebb and flow over the days.
Each day changing one more aspect until everything is new again.
And we don't even notice; until we see someone else begin this journey of change of ebbing and flowing until everything is again new for them.
Today, I watched a co-worker and his wife welcome good wishes, gifts, and notes of advice as we all celebrated the upcoming arrival of their first child.
When the parents to be looked at each other the joy and happiness they felt was heartwarming. There was just something in the look they shared that told others they were already in love with their new family.
The upcoming days for the family are going to be filled with love, surprises, late nights, snuggles, messes, and so much more.
Each event changing how they live, who they are, and slowly, gradually, their days will ebb and flow.
Will they notice?
I don't think so.
Not when they're so overwhelmed in so much joy, so much busy, so much love.
How can they?
Until they see it all starting again in someone else?
Changes unrealized.
I didn't mean for this to be "poemish," it just happened on the reread.
I hope it reads well- it's the first draft, it's a slice.
One of my colleagues is having a baby in a few short weeks. It's so exciting for all of us!
