Voices from Life

In the last few days, we have lost three important and talented people. Ed McMahon, the sidekick to Johnny Carson, passed away on Wednesday. Farrah Fawcett, best known for Charlie's Angels, passed away early Thursday morning. And "the king of pop," Michael Jackson died from an apparent heart attack.

However, we tend to concentrate on the wrong end of life. We hear of people dying from one thing or another all the time on the news. But we hardly ever hear when we get the blessing of new people on Earth.

Friday, I went with my mom to her doctor's appointment and after being done there was going to drop of some papers for Liane Barta at Sew Stitchin' in Grover Beach. I was really looking forward to seeing her as she's a very fun and positive person even in the face of a not working printer (see the entry below a bit). But when we got to the store, there was a note taped to it. She was at the hospital as her daughter (daughter in law??) was IN LABOR! I'll have to stop by next week and see how mom and baby are doing. When I was up there Wednesday, the daughter was not only pregnant, she was very pregnant. So I hope that mom and baby are doing well and Liane has a chance to enjoy some time with her fourth grandchild!

Edit: Liane has two daughters, both of which are (were?) pregnant. The daughter I met is still pregnant, expecting in August. The older daughter gave birth to a healthy baby boy!
