I was visiting my new grandson the last couple of days, and he's beginning to speak. He coos and imitates sounds and seems to say hi. His communication efforts are greatly appreciated by all the family. There are smiles now and excitement as he listens to us and responds. What a miracle a baby is. He is only six weeks old, but he's such a person in his own right. The thrill of language and speech will be felt again because of him. Right now tone is of the essence, but in a few months he will be really understanding what we say, and he will be venturing his own brand new shiny words.
The joy of new life reminds us that there is so much joy in living and that all the miracles are the little, everyday ones.
