In the following paragraph, could you please explain the underlined expression?

"Until David was in my arms, I'd felt trapped - but as soon as I saw him, I was free. He was magnificent - not just a reason to make the most of things - but The Reason. All it took was one moment with him snuggled against my breast and everything about my life made sense again."
(David is a newborn baby)
