February 16

Tis a sad day for me, my friends. My son was born today, right at this time 7:08PM. I'm not looking for sympathy, just feel a need to express some of my feelings. This day is worse than the day he died.
You Moms out there understand; there is nothing that compares to the bond established during pregnancy and childbirth. That moment cannot be duplicated or adequately explained with words. Of course it's the Mom who feels all these things. Kids - don't even remember the miracle moment. But after the umbilical cord is long gone, the invisible one that replaced it remains strong. Forever connected.
I miss him terribly, but I have things left to do before I can join him, and what would you guys do without me? lol
The next worse day is Mother's Day - but I'll leave that alone for now.
Thanks for "listening" my dear cyber pals. I wanted to put up a baby picture of Ronnie, but I'm having trouble with the scanner. Some of those old "studio" pics just don't scan. So here's a photo where he is a tad older.
