Tempered by joy and gratitude.

Those of you who have been visiting thornesworld for awhile; specifically those of you whom I gratefully call friend, know that two years ago this month our family was devastated by an unspeakable tragedy when we lost our beautiful Lil Pharaoh to SIDS.

In memory of that precious soul, I offer you all these wonderful tidings. My babygrrll is pregnant. Those precious parents, my F and A, are going to have another baby! Yay!!

"Yay!"

I got this wonderful image as a text message on Friday, with the simple but expressive message from my daughter which read: “Yay!” This morning her pregnancy was confirmed at Planned Parenthood. We are overjoyed.

Peace, out.
