Breath of New Life

Sharlotte Marie Koch was born on July 24, 2009. As I held her in my arms being just around 5 hours old... I breathed her in... for she is pure life... she is pure perfection... she is pure joy-love-happiness. There is not one single thing wrong with her. Holding her in my arms I realized the miracle that she is. As I found myself looking down at her... i thought of all that was to come in her life. All of the dreams she will dream... some she will reach some she won't. I thought of all she will see... do... feel... I thought of all the people she will have in her life... All the happiness and love she will bring to others as well as others bring to her. Five hours old and I love her as much as I love her sisters Sabrina and Sadey. Five hours old and she has no clue the changes she has brought to the lives that already love her dearly.

I sat there for quite some time watching my cousin Travis smile... he was glowing... he was proud. A father of now three... three daughters... something I am sure he will find himself stressed at times and maybe even a head full of gray... you know the things girls do to their fathers. But on that day... he was on cloud nine. And I was so happy to see him so happy. I am blessed to call Travis, Jill, Sabrina, Sadey and now Sharlotte family. I am grateful for their kindness and love. I am proud to be a part of the Koch Family because of moments like these. Its times like this I am glad to be a part of an amazing family. For I know one day Sharlotte will feel this same love. And she will be MORE because of the love she is given from her family.

Welcome our little miracle Sharlotte Marie. YOU ARE FINALLY HERE... oh how we have waited for you to enter our lives... and now that you are here... you are even better than what we dreamed and hoped for... you are the breath of new life... you are perfection... you are a miracle... but above all... YOU ARE LOVED... now and ALWAYS...
