I am overjoyed for one of my best friends in the entire world- who welcomed a healthy baby boy in the wee hours of 2:30am......she kept the gender a surprise so they were thrilled to welcome a boy to their female dominated home.
It's amazing how much time has flown by since the days of Nicky and I living together at Western Michigan University or hugging her goodbye when we lived together in Chicago when I left for Boston to be with Ted after we got married. We've been through so much together; College, big city living and truly living it up, hanging with my Mom and dancing the night away when she came to visit us in Chicago, we stood up in each other's weddings, enjoyed countless girls weekends, vacations and visits, I flew to PA to meet her new little gal, she flew to my side when my parents died, celebrated the upcoming arrival of my daughter at my baby shower, we took our first family vacation together in the Keys, and now I will get to welcome her latest addition when I head to the NY area next month over Thanksgiving.
It was interesting, after I sent her a text telling her she deserves to eat every last bite of pumpkin pie us girls had sent to her hospital room, I saw a card sticking out of a magazine with all of my mail that has been piling up for a few days....I pulled it out, opened it up and it was a beautiful sympathy card with such caring words for the passing of my Grandfather and for reliving such unpleasant memories, from Nicky. A wonderful man who lived a full life says goodbye to the world and then God introduces another beautiful boy.....if only the circle of life was always this beautiful. This is the way it should be. Someone was ready to leave and someone was ready to come.......
Praying you get some rest these next few days Nicky!
All my love and congrats, (we have really grown up haven't we?)
