[ WP ] : Write about the happiest moment of somebody 's life . Make it absolutely heartbreaking .

Dazed, he felt as if he had just woken up from a long dream. A man walked up to him holding a bundle in his hands, and asked, “ Would you like to hold her? ” 
 
 The bundle was close enough now that he could see the contents. It was a baby, the sound of crying suddenly became clearer and clearer to him. 
 
 Nodding, he held his arms out. He almost felt his heart stop when he felt the baby lowered into his arms, she was heavier than she looked. The crying continued to swell and he looked at the nurse for help. 
 
 The nurse demonstrated a rocking motion and he mimicked it. A short time passed and with every repetition, the crying ebbed until it was silent in the clean white room. 
 
 She had her mother ’ s eyes. Beautiful green eyes that he got lost in. He gently felt the baby ’ s cheek with a finger and smiled when she cooed in response. A tap on his shoulder brought him back to reality. The nurse made a motion to ask if he wanted to hand her back. 
 
 Suddenly, he was aware of how sore his arms were. Rocking the baby back and forth had made him even more tired than he already was, but he shook his head. He felt as if he could hold her forever as looking at her face made him forget he was ever tired. 
 
 A gentle voice called out to him. “ Mr. Adams, would you please follow me ”. He looked up and saw a doctor and he remembered why he felt so tired in the first place. Reluctantly, he turned to the nurse and motioned him over, placing his child in his care before going to follow the doctor down the long hallways. 
 
 He was glad they closed her eyes. He wouldn ’ t be able to bear seeing those beautiful verdant eyes so full of life be glossy and still. The doctor began to apologize, “ We ’ re sorry for your loss, we did everything we could ”, he continued on but the words were but white noise as he slipped back into his long dream. He felt like crying, but it took energy to cry and all he felt like doing was sleeping. 
 
 After all was said and done the doctor brought him back outside. He began to drift towards the exit signs like a moth drawn to a flame when his eyes caught a man sitting on a bench holding a small bundle in his arms. Without needing to be told the nurse brought her over to him and he once again felt the weight of her small existence. 
 
 He was tired still, but he had much to do now before he could sleep.
