You don't forget those times, for sure! So scary, so wonderful. One of the dearest memories of my life is the evening after weemonkey6 was born, my second baby and a planned c-section so I was in good shape and had such fun taking care of her (as I knew what I was doing, where I really didn't at all when ladymora was born!), changing her tiny diaper, nursing her, watching Star Trek with her on the TV in the hospital room. *G* *sends good wishes to the VSP, and her loving entourage*

I'm so happy you liked this, relieved, actually, as I woke up rather worried about it. But it was a scene that occurred to me weeks ago, when you first posted Four Days of Advent, and I just had to try to write it down.

That picture is amazing, isn't it? I wish they'd been able to fit something like that in the movie. So many stories could come out of Shipwreck Cove. The mind boggles!

Thank you so much for the encouraging comments. They are so very much appreciated!
