Does this ever happen to you? You hear about a birth and a death on the same day?

I just checked my email and my good friend Lisa let me know that her mother died on Saturday. She was in hospice and she knew it was coming but it is still sad. My friend said she died very peacefully with family at her side.

Then I read an email from the husband of a woman I know from church who had a baby on Friday. She had been on bedrest for quite a while but it all worked out including a water birth at home with a midwife and a doula.

The thing that also connects these two events is how they were both done peacefully with forethought and caring people around.

It really is all there is ... isn't it?

And so it goes.
