 The Spare Father   ( :

The sun , it couldn’t have been  any brighter. My heart, it couldn’t have been any merrier, anticipating what’s promised to be one remarkably stirring moment. Some assorted feelings filled me: joy, impatience and anxiety you name it, I had it.  It’s finally happening.Nothing prepared me for such “awe-whelming” encounter. A twitching smile waved uncontrollably on my face. I think she looks lovely, but I don’t  want to state the obvious to her parents. I simply utter “wow!”.

     she begins to size me up moment after I entered the room  “a stranger in my room” she’s thinking. So I kneel by her and reassure her that I mean no harm, that I’m family. She finds that hard to believe, but her mother and father reinforce my claim with harmonized nods. She looks a little perplexed “ you’re late” she imagines, looking at me with googly eyes .“ where was he last month?” she turns to ask her parents.Then she turns a frown at me and expresses “ You can’t just turn up out of the blue and claim such prestigious title!”. I tell her she’s right and confess “ If God grants me a long enough life, I promise I will never miss any other life event of yours , never again”. She gives me a long and thougthful look and lets out a wry smile . I think her and I are on common terms now, she had forgiven my late coming. Hungry for bond, I launch my arms towards her , expecting a hug, a nice forgiving pat on the back, who knows, but I quickly realize she’s only a one-month-old baby, “oops!” I say. We laugh as if on cue at my little gaffe. Her eyes twinkle and tell me “don’t stare, hold me”. Suddenly, I’m in the eye of a hurricane of emotions which impairs me from speaking. I lift her up and rest her on chest , she’s very affectionate. I wrap the little wonder in my arms, she never quit staring at me until she falls asleep. I think she likes me, and I hope she doesn’t change her mind when she wakes up... when she grows up.

From that moment on I was officially doing my duty as a “spare father”. I was loving my niece more than any uncle ever loved.

Snoopy, that sweet little cutesy boy was smiling at me while the photo was being taken. :)

Here, this is the photo of my other big "bossy" boy. He looks very charismatic here. 

With all this being said, I am reminded of my favorite quote:

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you are at home!

Ola, you described Molokai, better than wikipedia : )

And for you to draw such robust morale out of this phenomenon is very ingenious.

  An island in Hawaii, Molokai. An unique place in the world. The creation of lava that turned into a paradize. Because of the highest point of humidity and all the time sun there -- the island is wrapped up in rainbows. For me it's the symbol of coming true the most desiring dreams. If just that beauty grew up out of molten spewing lava, than I think... of... fullfilling dreams!

Oh you snoogum boogum! I guess liking Rihanna runs in the family ;)

No wonder that poor baby girl wasn't able to fall into a deep sleep..all that action going on in her tiny little head ;)

I always loved the hand reflexes of an infant.Just a slight stroke on the inside of that tiny little hand and you have a firm grasp around your finger. Babies are just wonderful.... ;)

Butta, nice piece about my niece : ). Thank you so much!

She's a very picky baby and doesn't sleep during the day, only short naps.but I found a trick to put her to sleep for a longer time. She has a liking for celiing fans ;) and full blast high tempo music , reggeatons and Rihanna's " we found love " ;) . Give her some long swings in your arms, after about 15 minutes, she'll stop looking at the fan and give you a frowning look...then she'll close her eyes, but don't you stop swinging, it's a fake sleep, one way to find out is to observe her hands , if her fingers are spread, she's not there yet, but once one hand turns into a fist, she's done for ; )

sorry, I got a little carried away ;)

Another sweet little angel entered the world to rely heavily on her family.

Little arms reaching out with a trusting smile for her uncle snoopyboy.

The rosy cheeks and gazing eyes have conquered your heart with sweet innocence. 

The quiet wonder of holding your baby niece stopped time and made you feel like you found purpose in life..

Those moments are magic!

But believe me snoop... the magic you've experienced with your niece keeps growing once you'll hold your very own child in your arms. I so agree with Lesya...you were born to be a wonderful father.  Till then, keep on spoiling that little angel with all your love and affection. Feel blazed with excitement and be amazed how fast she will grow...just never forget how she stole your heart the first time you held her in your arms :)

Thanks a million Ryo,

meeting my niece has been the highlight of this year so far. She's surrounded by people who love her very much, I'm sure she's going to benefit from that.

This piece  is saying about the man who was born to be caring and loving  son, grandson,  uncle,  father and finally grandfather for his own children and grandchildren.

 It’s difficult to determine  the amount of love you have got towards your affectionate little niece. It is more harder to guess the amount of love you will give to your own children.

You were born to be a great father, Snoopyboy!

I strongly wish you to be surrounded by your own wonderful wife and children as soon as possible.

Believe me, there is nothing in this world better than  happy  family!

From now on you are responsible for this little pretty girl – your niece.

Keep your promises, take part in her life and she will always love you as a” spare father”.Smile
