Why don’t I cry
at normal times?
It is either
the least convenient moment,
or the most irrational circumstance.
The scent of
hand sanitizer
got me today.
Plans falling through
got me today too.
I feel like such a baby.
Even better, speaking of babies,
my little sis gave birth to
my new nephew
Julien,
at 12:35am
this morning.
Julien weighs
9 pounds, 12 ounces!
Wow. Now that
would
have been something
to cry about.
He is healthy,
cute,
and we all adore him.

Angie, It can be something you see, feel, hear, smell or that moment in time…. I remember shortly after your father died a construction worker at work had a tool belt and jeans on, I cried my eyes out. I remember when my mom died going to the grocery store and the music that had been playing always in the store, suddenly made me cry my eyes out. I remember when my brother Jack died, a Saturn could drive by and I would cry my eyes out. I remember your beautiful baby boys and I can cry my eyes out. I remember looking down the street and remembering the walks we would take with Mark and that can make me cry my eyes out…. It can be the simplest things that bring tears to your eyes as you most certainly know. Though the pain of loss is always there, we rejoice and thank God for the blessings…. Our newest blessing is Julien and I thank God for this healthy baby. Nolan is so cute and proud that he is the oldest of the cousins. And what a wonderful Aunt you already are. I love you so very much, Mom

I can hardly wait to see the baby! Great-Grandma keeps asking about him and asking me when we will go over and see him, but I think we will wait till Sarah has recovered a bit and caught up on some sleep. Maybe sometime this weekend. I have shown her email pictures sent on my phone for now. He is so precious and so BIG!

Congrats again on the addition to your family. What a sweetie!
Stopping by to let you know I’m here praying.
Psalms 57:1-2 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

Congratulations to your sister’s family and welcome to this world Julian. And my sister tells me – crying when you least expected is OK (she also lost her husband a few years ago). Enjoy the new baby in your family.

congratulations! He is soooo cute. Most babies look all red and mushy faced, he is adorable.
