I can't stop looking back at this gifset.
In this particular one I wait for the moment
when his pacifier drops from his mouth,
like, Whoa. What is that? Who is that?
And then it segues into this next gif,
where Mama goes, "Hi Johnathan. Can
you hear me? Can you hear Mama?"
You see that beautiful smile start to
form on his face, slow enough to catch
that expression of clear realisation; that
he is there, there, there, cradled in the
arms of his mother and finally being able
to listen to her voice for the first time.
A mother's voice is the first sound that
introduces him to this new sensory world
that he will come to explore more of, and
I hope he never gets tired of listening;
taking it all in; understanding.
He will come to know that this is the voice
that will sing him to sleep at night through
out his young life, that will soothe him of
his nerves, that will tell him that he is loved
everytime his heart breaks, that will gently
reprimand to keep him humble. He will come
to love many other voices in this lifetime, but
this voice, this voice, will always be his favourite.
He will never forget this voice.
