Definitions vary. One might be:

When Jane was due with our first we head out to the hospital. Normal Lamaze blowing coaching etc. Things are exciting and scary. We get to the hospital, check in and everything is just flowing smoothly.

Suddenly the heart monitor goes crazy and there are seemingly dozens of hospital folks running around us. They kick me out to the general waiting area with the rest of the family. Doctor comes with me explaining that the cord it around the babies neck and they are doing an emergency C-section right then.

After what seemed like forever they brought me back to see our new healthy baby Kait and Jane who was recovering fine. A few hours later, when Mom and new baby were sleeping and all the relatives had gone home, I went out to the parking lot.

Fired up a Hoyo Excalibur # 1. Thought about life, my wife our new baby and how much we had to be thankful for. I will never enjoy any cigar I ever smoke more than that one on that day.
