It is now the end of a wonderful yet exhausting week. On Monday, my new little niece arrived at 5:06pm. Karsyn Brooke (middle name after me!) was 9 lbs 2 oz ... God bless my sister. I am a proud aunt and a proud sister. It is an indescribable feeling to watch someone that you are so connected to... your sister... your best friend, become a mother. To look at that baby and realize it is a miracle that she created, it is absolutely astounding. Our mother would be so happy and proud and it breaks my heart that she cannot be here to be "grandma". While my sister was in the hospital, I had the joy of keeping my 2 year old niece, Olivia, and that was a wonderful adventure. 2 year olds sure do have a lot of energy! I will have to say that it was good birth control for now. :)
I will post pictures of Karsyn, but I have to get Cam's permission first. So stay tuned...
I am also very excited and proud of one of my special friends, Rebekah, on the arrival of her new baby boy, Jackson, born only hours before Karsyn. I can't wait to meet him! Congrats Beks!

rough waters
The last day or so has taken a toll on me.
My emotions come in waves throughout the year. The last few days those waves have crashed over me. I'm finding it hard to find my way to the top and catch my breath. Lucky for me I have my angels that pick me up in the midst of this crash and help me to shore.
I'm not sure what I would do without those people.
I cannot explain how it feels to love and feel loss...to live but feel dead...to smile and yet wipe away invisible tears. It's a slap in your face when you feel like the happiest, the luckiest, the most loved person in the world and yet deep inside your life will never be complete and always have saddness lurking around, ready to jump out in front of you when things are looking up.
It's been 8 years of this battle and somehow I manage to keep fighting and keep smiling.
Thank you all for bearing with me and being there for me.
You all keep me alive.
