Things that Should Happen
Last year, I posted a reference to a tragic event in our family.
Now I’m happy to report that we had a great event. My uncle and my aunt are proud parents to a little girl, born via surrogate on Wednesday. Leah James.
I have my first first cousin, and now with Leah and her cousin Eli being a year and a week apart, we continue the rather screwed up generational divides in my family (my uncle, my mom’s little brother is five years older than I, 18 years younger than my mom).
I said a little over a year ago: “In the end we’re only as strong as our will to keep living forward.”
Collective strength and love brought us to this day and it is a happy one indeed.
