The nurses are coming in and out getting things done but the doctor has not started the inducement. Still waiting for that. Check back for more info and pictures.

As I Lay Here...

As I lay here in bed waiting to fall asleep, I cannot help but think of my mother for her Birthday would have been just yesterday and as I feel her all around me. Helping me to fully understand the death and birth of life with what will come tomorrow with the birth of Jamie's child and her own passing. She speaks to my Spirit, and loving let's me know that she is here (as always) with me, for I am to embrace this life as I embraced hers.
I am finding it hard to sleep with excitement knowing that my first Grandson, Jackson will soon be coming into my life. I have been so very blessed to have Vicki (my loving wife), Tracy (my beautiful daughter), Jamie (my beautiful daughter), to come into my life. I could not have believed that another blessing would come my way, such as this.
Now, I will pretend to sleep as I dream of the joy to come. For I will not be sad that my mother is not here to see the birth of my Grandson, for she is here with me now, telling me to live every moment with this child as she did with me. I love you mother.
