Can you see me, Grandpa?

Imagine experiencing one of the most important and special days of your life: the birth of your first born lil' blessing! Generally, you would be surrounded by family and friends, all curiously awaiting the introduction of your most beautiful miracle. Instead, you rush to the hospital, enter a most empty lobby, get checked and locked in your room - only you and your spouse - and await what comes next: the countdown to a sweet birth, the phone calls, the texting, the only way to communicate the good news with loved ones, as they can no longer rush to the hospital and excitedly hang out in the waiting room for someone to shout out, "He has arrived!"  No visits to the room, no congratulatory comments and hugs and tears to share. And then what? Well, you bundle up your little blessing and head home, only to arrive at your house with no interactions, no congratulatory party waiting to provide hugs and kisses, no ewes and awes, just you, your spouse, and your brand new bundle of miraculous joy.  You go inside, get settled, and then life begins in a whole new and very different way, a much better way. But still, you long to share your blessing with your loved ones, showing him off and showing the new you off, the new mom, the best mom. And then... a blessing occurs like no other.  You receive a most incredible visit from someone who's love for another human being can never be measured! It comes, that knock on the window from someone wearing the greatest smile for what is to occur: Good 'ole Grandpa gets to meet his special little buddy for the first time!  Oh how that very first simple view through that glass window reflects the deepest love radiating from Grandpa to his first born grandchild. While we would rather have the former - the visits and kisses and giggles and lovin', we remain focused on the latter: the cherished moment Grandpa and Daughter will never forget. What a most precious moment indeed.
