But whatever questions I may have had vanished the moment Reyna Joy was born at 4:11 p.m. Tuesday, January 8.
How is it that I can be madly in love with someone I've never met?
I remember when Reyna was in the womb, Vanessa would have me by her belly, talking to our baby so Reyna would know my voice. I often had one-sided conversations with Reyna. Other times I would read from the Bible, Oswald Chambers, Mark Finley, Ellen White, or some other devotion.
The moment the nurse placed Reyna in my arms a feeling of exhilaration flooded my senses.
When I said, "Reyna" she stopped cooing, opened her dark eyes, and looked up at me. After that all I could do was hold her and cry.
