Terrible! I hope that this is not getting routine in your neighbourhood...

That is terrible and scary, Jordan.

For my grandchild who is now ten days past due day. He apparently is having it far too good inside his mum to bother being born :)"
Wow. This is getting a bit too exciting! :-D

Any day now, then, yes? :-)
Will you fly down there?
Mod
Yeah. Scary is right.
Joy!My grandson was born last night! He is healthy and lovely and the parents proud and exhausted. It was a long labour and the doctor needed to use the forceps in the end. But both the baby and mum is fine. Dad and grandma are not so bad either😊.
I will travel and visit but not quite yet, the new family needs to figure things out themselves first so they decide. But I have flexible tickets and fly out as soon they ask.
This autumn has been an emotional roller coaster for me. I’m quite dizzy. Life and death so close together, it makes me a little bit raw.

That is WONDERFUL news, Anne! Congratulations, grandma!!!

So understandable to feel this way. I’m sending big, big hugs, dear.

Happy for you and your family.
So many congratulations, Anne! I am so thrilled for you! I'm glad everything worked out well despite the big delay. Many hugs to you, my friend the grandmother. :)

I'm so happy for you, dear Anna! Many, many congratulations! And good wishes for the little one and his mom and dad. :-)
I always liked the thought (my Mum told me that when I was little) that the soul of the one who died will be there for the next child born to their family to protect it and give it strength and live on a little bit that way. Many hugs for you, my dear!

I like the thought of my father’s spirit protecting my little grandson.
Thank you, Calathea.

Yes, very much so. Thankfully, nothing has happened when my parents are here because the last thing I want is to alarm my mother. But it's come very close.

Came home to cops with lights flashing, the restaurant downstairs closed with lights off but not cleaned up, and news vans in my parking lot. Finally figured out that a teenage girl got shot this afternoon and was immediately followed by a car accident that may or may not have been related. I guess the investigation is ongoing.
Too much violence in my neighborhood!
