The Happiest of Days

“Oh, Mammy,” said Melanie, “the happiest days are the days when babies come…
And so, today is the day that Aubrey’s little sister, Renee and Will’s second daughter was born. She’s a beauty at 7 lbs.7 oz., 21 inches, with a head full of dark hair, like Renee’s. She seems to know exactly how to be a baby since she pooped and pee’d all over everyone as she was born. This baby is Marvin’s eighth grandchild, the baby of his youngest child.

As we were leaving Germantown Methodist Women’s Pavilion, walking through the family waiting area, we heard the faintest of chimes, thinking it to be a cell phone ring tone. Instead, the volume increased just a bit and it became a tune: Brahms Lullaby. The tune announced a birth. Smiles came to every face in the large lobby area, including ours. 

We immediately inferred that “when you hear that sound, somebody’s baby has been born. A new life has graced our world.”


A baby is a true miracle of God and we got to hold her today.
