Holding a Sleeping Baby

Hey Dads,
Today I would like to talk about angles, not the kind that are found in holy books, not I am talking about children. I was sitting on the couch the other night watching a movie and holding my 2month old son. He had fallen asleep in my arms, and at one point I looked down at him and was stunned by the look of complete peace that was on his face. It was the most beautiful moment that we have shared since he was born. What is truly amazing is when I was holding him, he knew that it was his Daddy who was holding him, and he knew that he was completely safe.
The moment passed quickly, and even now the wonder of it is starting to fade, just as the wonder of similar moments that occurred with my 2year old when he was a new born. The funny thing is, this second time around I have a better idea of which moments are going to stick out in my mind as I watch them grow. Watching my son sleep in my arms is definitely going to be one of them.
