Reliving the Experience

I am sitting in a hospital room, in Chattanooga, TN, awaiting the arrival of Sofia's Cousin, my Nephew, Talen Gregory Tibbs.  So, most of you know that I am a twin and she is about to have her first, a little boy! Our God is so amazing! For as long as I can remember Jackie and I always said it would be incredible to have our kids be the same age.  Well our little Sofia is 7 weeks old tomorrow and little Talen will join us today (Jaunary 26, 2012), making them Twins (Once removed)!  Although I am miles away from Michelle and Sofia, my mind is with them because being here, I keep reliving our birth, only a short time ago.  I, maybe prematurely, play off my experience of being a father, trying to give them advice on what to expect.  Do this, don't do that... I wish I would have's or wouldn't have's... all I feel are applicable to their scenario but really just replaying mine.  That experience is still alive and fresh in my memory but even more fresh is the sights, sounds and smells of our little girl.  As they wheel my sister back to the OR, I am overwhelmed with joy because now she will know these feelings.  The next time I see my Twin, she will be a mother!!! Our God is great!
