Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my dear friend macgeek427! I know we haven't known each other long, but it's long enough for me to realize how awesome you are. The children and I wish you a wonderful day and a year filled with blessings! <3

I cried with and for her when she lost her daughter in 2005, and I am crying for her now too, but this time I am thrilled to do so ( Read more... )

Got word after services at temple last night that Lisa, one of the preschool moms, had given premature birth via emergency C-section yesterday to a new baby girl: a sister for Sophia, her 4-year-old daughter. We've been casual acquaintances at best, but I had a sudden feeling that I needed to visit Lisa in the hospital--the same hospital a few ( Read more... )
