Loving Lillias

I first saw her face in a movie about 3 months ago. She had the most beautiful feminine face I ever recall seeing. Her eyebrows or fine dark hair like 2 feathers above her perfectly symmetrical almond shaped dark eyes. Her lips were the classical angelic shape of a bow, and she had a head full of curly black hair, a curl falling onto her forehead, another over an ear.
I next encountered her as I was standing in the the hallway of St. Davids hospital, this time in real life. Her beauty was striking and I felt my heart pounding with excitement. I was awe-struck, the same fine dark eyebrows arched over her dark blue almond shaped eyes. Her curly black head full of hair was the same with a lock on her forehead, another draped over her ear. She had prominent cheek bones and the same angelic bow shaped pair of almost cherry red lips against her fair skin. Again, I could not recall seeing anyone with more perfect features. I've seen her twice now, and I feel giddy at the thought of touching her.
My granddaughter Lillias was born 8lb. 9oz. by C-section on January 19, 2010. She looks amazingly like her 4-D ultrasound movie in the womb. I have spoken to other grandfathers and heard about these powerful feelings but until it happens to you, you can't really understand what it fools like. This is living and loving.
