This journal is for my beloved children and grandchildren...
...and for Dear Hubby if he outlives me

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that ‘making a living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’ I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

We found out today our new grandchild is going to be a boy for sure. This remarkable photo taken by photojournalist Lennart Nilsson shows a baby at almost the same gestational age my yet unborn grandson is. Isn't the miracle of life amazing? We have ultrasound images of little Cooper sucking his thumb, too. They didn't have this technology when I was a mother-in-waiting. I find it breathtakingly...awesomely...beautiful.
