Beautiful

I saw an amazing sunset once. It lit up the whole sky and spread across the ocean reflecting the most radiant colors from the water. With the rays reflecting off the water the sky seemed to sparkle with the ocean.  As waves crashed up on the shore I stood there in awe at this amazing creation, I had never seen anything as beautiful as that sunset.

Tonight, I saw something that blew that sunset out of the water.  What I saw tonight was so beautiful that I have no words that I could use to describe its entire beauty.  It brought me to tears, it was truly a miracle.

My sister had her baby just a little while ago. At 12:43, on March 11, little Tyler David Blevins came into this world.  He is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.  I saw them bring him over to the table to clean him up and I was in awe… it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  This little person, changed so many things, just by being born.  As I stood there watching this little boy I started to cry.  For a number of reasons.

He was so beautiful, he is just amazing.  Beyond that, I have never seen my sister more beautiful than she was tonight.  Even after everything she had just gone through, I have never seen her shine more than I did tonight.  She held little tyler and her eyes just lit up, and so did his.  He opened his eyes and just looked at her.  Then Travis picked him up and just held him. He talked to him, he pressed him to his heart and you could just see the love he had for his little boy.

My mother.  I see now how amazing she really is.  She’s a grandma now, and it was just wonderful to see the look in her eyes while she watched my sister holding her baby.  I wish my dad could have been here to see it.  I wish Tyler could have had the chance to learn from my dad, or even just the chance to meet him.

Tonight before I left to let heather rest, he looked at me… he didnt cry, he just looked at me.  His beautiful eyes seemed to lock into mine… they say babies cant smile….. but little Tyler smiled at me. I know he did…
I cant believe how beautiful he is… better than the most amazing sunset.
