life

Ok… I lied. This is not really “wordless” because I have to tell this story! On this day in 1983, my one and only Favorite Son was born a premie and weighed 4 pounds, 6 ounces. He was healthy thank goodness, and stayed in the hospital two weeks until he reached 5 pounds. This photo was taken the day he came home. I will always remember how wonderful it felt to hold him.
