Have just been speaking to my DIL from hospital. She gave birth to our new Grandaughter 2 hours ago. She sounded so happy and really deserves to be. Our son had a heart attack a month ago (aged 42) and we have all been dealing with the psycological effects. Their two sons (ages 4 & 10) have had a hard time too and they are now delighted to be welcoming a new sister home tomorrow. We plan to have a big family party soon to celebrate all that is now good in our world.

Thank you all for your good wishes. Went out and bought lots of pink frilly things and some blue ones for her brothers. Isn't it great that just when you think life is forever kicking you in the teeth something beautiful happens to restore your faith. All the family will be back together tomorrow when we pick up youngest son from the airport after being in Russia working.

I have made a promise to myself to post more on here as I hang around regularly and some of your posts inspire, infuriate, make me cry and make me laugh.

Thanks again.
