(not really) waiting in vain

today i spent almost all day at the hospital waiting for my cousin in labor. she was admitted to puri cinere at 7 pm yesterday evening and at this very moment she’s still gazillion hours away from seeing her baby girl. the waiting was pretty much like rachel’s on friends. literally gazillion babies have been delivered from various wombs since the moment she arrived until this very moment. imagine that! frustratingly exciting.


 


it was somewhat an experience, nevertheless. this has been the most appreciated waiting i have ever done. i saw anxious faces turning into relieved glistening faces. mothers turning into grandmothers. fathers become grandfathers. men and women altered into parents. what could be more adorable than to see a father walking from the waiting room to the babies’ room back and forth for a thousand times, looking as if he was about to tell just about everybody he met that he just had a baby?


 


one day, with the right sperm and the right moment, i might want this too.
