Hi Guys,
Nice to see you back and posting Lizbeth. Feels odd to be refered to as a "mentor". It’s very flattering but I am just another CG trying to muddle through this mad illiness just like everyone else.
Today is my brother’s oldest daughters 21 birthday. He was so scared! I was the birthing coach as he refused to be anywhere near when the time came. I held my sil’s hand as they forcept delivered my niece. Poor mom, just in agony. They pulled so hard I thought the babys head would pop off! My niece still bares a slight distortion where the forcept pressed on the side of her face. When it was all said and done I went to get my brother who so greatly wanted a son. He was pouting, didn’t want to see the baby! I told him to get his *ss in there and go thank his wife and go fall in love with his beautiful daughter. He did, and he did cry tears of joy when he saw her! She became his "little buddy" and he took that girl everywhere with him.
I know he would be so proud of her. I miss him as much today as the day he left us. Hard to believe he’s gone 11 years in July.
