Fletcher Ethan Welsh is the newest addition to our family and and he has already make his own special space in my heart. There is nothing like a brand new life to show me what is right with the world. He came into our lives 6 weeks early, Wednesday September 5, 2007, 4:42 am, weighing 5 lbs 12 oz, 18" long. Such a tiny thing. And a living breathing tiny thing at that!
I looked on his precious face and tears just rolled down my face - joyful and grateful for being given this amazing gift. I remember when my first grand child was born as I was flying out to be with my daughter and her family I was wondering how long it would take for me to "love" her - obviously a not-very-experienced grand parent:-) As soon as she was put in my arms I felt my heart expand as it made room for her to take up permanent residence. The same heart that now holds Olivia, and since Wednesday, Fletcher.
