A Mid-Life Wonder

Help me if you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in their hives
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh.


"House At Pooh Corner"
Kenny Loggins

Stephen was born by emergency cesarean section on December 20, 1998, at 3:05 a.m. I wasn't awake to help bring him into the world, to hold him, or to hear his first cry. However, when I finally did get to see him, I was overwhelmed with love, and thankfulness that he had survived his scary entrance into our lives. After so many years with just one child, having a miscarriage the year before, and being nearly 40, I was certain I wouldn't have any more children. When Stephen came along, it was like a new lease on life. I'd forgotten so much about babies, and was getting set in my ways, but he has reopened my eyes to the wonder around me. I'm looking at life through the eyes of an innocent child again, and every day I marvel at the precious miracle that is Stephen.
