Strange fortunes and good tidings
Strange fortunes both good and tragic seem to be attracted to May 13th, at least in my universe. Today has been one of those types of days. I was sitting thinking about it today, how six years ago on this day, my oldest daughter, who was pregnant, called me crying to tell me her husband had died that night. I remember the shock and the pain, and the grieving we all had to go through...and three months later, my youngest grandson was born, never to meet his Dad.
Today, my youngest daughter came bursting into my living room, anxious and breathless, to tell me some news— she was having a baby. She anxiously searched my face for approval, which of course I gave. “Honey, it’s always good news when a new baby arrives!” Her family was growing, and that’s always a blessing.
One life ended tragically on May 13, 6 years ago and today, on May 13, one life was officially announced. Strange fortunes and life is always unpredictable, sad, beautiful. Cherish ever day and God is always good, even through the sad times, and especially in the happy times ❤️🌺
