Seeing Is Believing!

NICU Day #4 of 127

At last the patches are off of my eyes! The ceiling lights are agonizingly bright, but at least the lights on the top of my box are gone. I heard a nurse say that I’m no longer jaundice. Now I can really take a look around me.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!! I will see mommy and daddy for the very first time! I wonder if my eyes look like daddy’s or mommy’s? I have waited a long time to see them. I know they laugh. I’ll bet they have beautiful smiles. I can’t wait to see my mommy and daddy!

Here they are! My wonderful mommy and daddy! I have longed to see them. They are just like I pictured in my mind. Mommy has the most beautiful blue eyes. They are sparkling – oh no – those are tears sliding down her face. She never saw my eyes before today - we’ve never looked into each other’s eyes. I see so much love there. Now it’s daddy’s turn, he is looking at me and I’m looking right back at him! WOW – this is so great. I see him, I see him! “Mommy and daddy, I love you! Seeing is Believing. It’s you, it’s really you!”
