Things kinda clicked in my mind, and I saw my shared life with my wife as a storybook, where we have this idyllic family (which we do) and then along comes a seventh (numinous) child, and it's a son. Amazing!

This is the last child for us, though, since my darling's labor was so hard. She's 40 after all. Everyone assumed I was crying because I was happy about the imminent birth of our child, but in fact, I was sad to see my darling suffering so much. She is, indeed, the most wonderful woman in the world!
