I can't help but think that that's one of the saddest, and yet most beautiful parts of life. Strange, but beautiful. I remember that after my dad died, I waited for something, for anything, to stop. To just wait a minute, for our sake. But life was bustling, and people didn't notice we were grieving. Then, there is life, to replace and to renew and replenish. And it's amazing.

Congratulations! to your brother and your sister. : )

YAY!!! You're going to be the BEST aunt ever

Life has a way of giving us hope when we feel we've lost everything. And life does renew, as I'm constantly reminded watching Amelia after losing my Grandmother a few months ago. It's still so sad, but a new baby brings so much happiness & hope.

Isn't it wonderful the way life assures us of its intent to continue? We don't even need to *feel* as if we contribute, it just goes forward. This news is a beautiful example of that, so congratulations to all of you!

You'll be a great Auntie too, Court!

Congrats Courtney! How very exciting! Make sure you are the fun aunt - you know, the one that lets them do all the things their parents won't!

Oh, that is SO awesome! I'm also going to be an auntie and have already been spoiling little Charlotte and she's not even here yet!

How wonderful! Every kid needs a super-cool aunt, so this one's all set.

It's true; she was ready to burst the day she found out. If anyone would explode after finding out she's going to be an aunt, it would be Courtney. Some day when she finds out she is going to have her own baby, it might level the whole city.
