Last Saturday I attended a brunch to celebrate the upcoming birth of my granddaughter and also my daughter-in-law, Jennifer. Going back to last September, Jennifer and Andrew went to a doctor's appointment for a routine check up and to possibly find out the baby's gender. We got a call from Andrew, expecting him to tell us that the baby was a boy or a girl. Instead, he was choking up as he told us that there were some indications that the baby might not make it to term. Joy turned to heartbreak in a matter of seconds. Over the course of the next couple months, Jennifer went through a lot of tests, some rather uncomfortable, to track the baby's growth. After a lot of uncertainty, but always filled with hope, her last barrage of tests showed that the baby was strong and healthy. We could finally celebrate and this brunch filled with so much pink overflowed with joy to welcome this little girl and to recognize a mother's love and strength.
