Highs and Lows

In the past month I have welcomed my very first grandchild - a boy - and lost a very dear friend in an unbelievably tragic and freak accident.

In August, I stood next to my eldest son Matthew as his very first child entered this world and took his very first breaths. 

I captured the very first pictures of my very first grandson.

I also captured the very first picture of MY firstborn son holding HIS firstborn son for the very first time.

I am a grandma now and I have yet to wrap my brain around that.

September 13th marked the 17th anniversary of the birth/death of my son Alexander Lee.  Time does not heal all pain.  The passage of time only makes it a little less unbearable.

My very dear friend died this year.  On September 13th.  On the 17th anniversary of the birth/death of my son Alexander Lee.

I will bury my very dear friend this week.  On Thursday September 20th.

Highs.

And.

Lows.

Spinning.

Let.

Me.

Go.
