Humbled

Ok, so I whined for the past two days and now I'm over it. A good friend mine emailed me last night and put things in perspective for me. She had a baby last week, a sweet baby girl with these big wise eyes. That is a wonderful thing, the tough thing is that after reuniting with her dad a few years ago he suddenly passed away earlier this year. She's missing him and so sad her baby can't meet grandpa. It's far from the worst thing in the world. She has this gorgeous family and her relationship with her dad was a special thing. However, I guess for me I just had a taste of what ache can be, and it's not my bratty whining about city living or demanding kids. Things are so temporary, and I keep trying to remember that in 40 years my friend and I will remember this time in our lives and strain to remember the weight of these babies in our arms.
