Last night I began a new phase of my life. Not that it hadn't started months before, just the experience culminating the change came to a crescendo (literally) with the sound of a screaming little voice. Conner was born. My first grandchild. I got to experience what my own mother had not, seeing my own baby transition to a mother. I was able to see ( Read more... )
