To a friend:
###
If I've calculated correctly - you're due to deliver Baby Girl # 4 pretty soon.
I hope that this nearing-the-end......approaching-the-beginning time is relaxing and has you counting your blessings.
I'm thinking that it probably has you wishing your Mom were here to meet Baby Girl #4. I'm certain I'd be wishing the same thing.
But, perhaps they've already met? God does works in funny ways. And by funny, I mean mysterious, powerful, mind-boggling... but you know what I mean.
Your newest little lady - I think she'll be a Princess of Peace.
Many positive thoughts to you and yours as you embark on this expansion of family and as you morn the loss of the one who guided your journey until now.
Through the three lassies dancing around your legs and the one in your belly your Mother is still guiding you. Steering you.
You, my dear friend, continue to be a beautiful and inspiring Mother due in large part to the fact that you learned from The Best of the best.
Your Mother is with you. Today tomorrow and forever, you are not rudderless.
