My younger sister became a mother yesterday.
I became an aunt.
Our parents became grandparents, for the first time.
Were I a better person, I would share in my family’s joy. That’s what I would have thought a few weeks ago – a few days ago, even.
Today, I will simply share that joy - or as much of it as I can bear, given what should have been.

I'm right there with you. My cousin is going to have a baby any second. I'm so happy and I so want to scream.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought of you and your post from the other day ... we'll both get through it. Somehow!

ReplyDeleteThank you, it's good to hear that - it has more weight coming from someone other than myself.
