Uplifting

What is greater than a week full of uplifting joy, but also sadden by heartbreaking news. 
On Monday, March eleventh, my grandson’s wife after twenty-six hours of labor had a beautiful baby boy. On the other side of the country on Wednesday, a few minutes after midnight, my granddaughter had a handsome baby boy. 
Amazing. Two great-grandchildren in one week the ultimate greatest news a great grandma could have. I couldn’t be there for the delivery but was spiritually. Photos were taken capturing every moment of their birth. I am the proudest great grandma. Twelve hours after my second great-grandson was born, I was called with bad news, my sister ten years younger than me had passed away peacefully in her sleep. On Saturday, three days later loud thunderstorms then   at three-a.m. nature decided to send hail the size of golf-balls causing damage.   What else is in store for my life. 

perfect buds unfurl
slowly ages withers dies
celebrate rebirth
