Default The Power of Love

Mon Amis:

It's 3:30 a.m. Leicester time, and my daughter's water has just broke, so we will be enroute to the hospital at anytime to welcome either Lily Grace or Liam Wesley into this world. I'm sending this now as I can't predict when I will resurface again for air!

I lost a baby many years ago on October 23rd, and there was always the possibility that this child would be born on the 23rd; April and I have even been joking about it this past week, as a form of comedy relief. But my daughter and first grandchild have hung in until well after midnight, and I'll be a grandmother for the first time at some point today, on the 24th.

Isn't life amazing?

A very happy and excited 'nana' to be be,

Dawna

As Dawna's neighbour in England I am passing on, at her request, the news that her granddaughter, Taylor Grace, has finally made an appearance...weighing in at 8lbs 3oz.

All are well, after a difficult labour.
