Baby Joshua

Yesterday was very special to me, because I got to meet a new, very important boy in my life. When I moved to Howell in the second grade, I met my best friend Lily. She was a bit older than me, but that did not matter and we soon became great friends. Though think and thin, we were there for each other and managed to stay a part of each others lives even after all of this time. Nine months ago, Lily found out that she was pregnant. I was so excited for her, and promised to be there for her no matter what. College started, and I soon found that I was too busy to spend as much time with Lily as I used to. Although, I kept my promise to her and was there to visit her in the hospital the day after he was born. As a young adult, this was the first time one of my close friends had a baby of their own. Seeing Joshua for the first time gave me such an amazing feeling, and I found myself staring at him for hours. Before yesterday, I did not know that it was humanly possible to fall in love so quickly. I am so happy to be a part of this precious little boy's life, and cannot wait to watch him grow! A cool fact about baby Joshua, is that he was named after a close friend of mine who passed away about a year ago. Baby Joshua was born so big, and healthy. I can't help but think that our friend Josh watched over Lily throughout her entire pregnancy to keep baby Joshua safe. Watching her baby sleep gives me so much peace, and I cannot wait to have children of my own someday!
