Pandemic Baby

I remember the first time we met you.

Your mother and I loved you from the moment you came into the world. And even before that

When we could hear your little heartbeat in your mothers womb.

None of the family could come see you because you were born during the pandemic.

I was only let into your room when we were going to meet you.

Your grandparents and uncles came to see me though.

I told them about your c-section delivery and it was wonderful.

I had such a good outlook and experience of your birth.

What a blessing.

Anyways, there were a lot of instructions when you have a baby during the pandemic.

We had to be really careful so as to not get you in contact with the Covid-19 virus.

Our living room became your city.

Our apartment became your country.

And our family became your world.

Your little city wasn’t much at the time, because you were so little.

You didn’t do much but enjoy our company and sleep during the beginning.

But in time your city would grow into a flourishing oasis of fun

Toys and trinkets

Then one day you went outside. And got to walk around.

And we went to meet your grandparents

Coach and cocoa were their chosen names

You had so much fun with them and quickly became good, close family

I just want you to know how much we love you son.

You are at the center of so many hearts.

you...are...LOVED!
