Saying Goodbye.....Saying Hello.....

The cycle of life -  it's happening every day, all day all around the world. People die. Babies are born. Grief and happiness. Phone calls from family or friends who let you know about sad news.....or glad news.

One of our family members lost an elderly aunt today......I didn't know her. We may have met at a wedding, but I honestly don't remember. But her family and friends will be gathering over the weekend to celebrate a long-life-well-lived. Sharing hugs and memories and laughter and tears to support one another in their grief.

And then there was the happy text later in the morning that announced our immediate family was now seven pounds four ounces bigger. Family and friends will gather to celebrate this special new arrival. Sharing hugs and laughter and tears.....and plans for a bright future.

Saying good bye, saying hello. One is so hard....the other so joyous.

Welcome to this beautiful world sweet Baby James.
