Four kisses when you wake....


Four candles on your cake....























Today is Zeek's birthday.  I watched the boys while Melinda was at the hospital.  That was the fall Emma was diagnosed with epilepsy.  I was thankful to be with Emma most of October, be there for Matthew and Melinda and then scoot back to Chicago....
It was one of those times in life....
when the delight of new birth and joy was mixed right in with fear and illness.
It happens this way a lot doesn't it?

Love you one and all as you navigate your lovely,  
bewildering, frightening, beautiful, life.

Hope is right around the corner.

Love
Donna


A helmet helps.

    Oh Donna, your words always touch me. Navigating life here, and so thankful for the joy and delight that balance out the fear and hard things. Blessings to your wonderful family and Happy Birthday to your darling grandson Zeek.

    P.S. Those are amazing newborn photos of Zeek. The ones with his hand resting up against his cheek are just beautiful.
