Eleven years ago today I was in the Delivery Room witnessing the birth of my nephew and Godson, Charlie. It was, and will always be, one of the most amazing moments of my life.
Five years ago today I was in a hospital room with my family gathered around my mother's bedside as she took her last breath. It was, and undoubtedly will always be, one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life.
Today I went to mass with my family and thanked God for all the moments...big and small, happy and sad, breath taking and heartbreaking that have made up my life.

Okay so I wasn't in either room for either event..where's my therapists' number....

Life sure is a tangled tapestry of pain and joy, loss and gain, isn't it? HOW your Mom would've rejoiced in Lily. How mine would've, too. And Aunt Joanie, who never met a baby that didn't immediately fall in love with her? Puh-leeze! Do you ever imagine them up there, like the three Graces, arms around each other's waists, watching and loving us all from afar? (Sigh.)Hey, I'm the only one in the family that's so sappily sentimental, right??? Yeah. I thought so. ;)
Your cousin Eileen
