What a day yesterday was for emotions. One of my favorite aunts passed away this week and was buried yesterday. I will always remember Aunt Peggy for the way she laughed and joked. Even though she’s had a hard life the past few years, losing first her husband and then her two sons within just a few years and having to deal with illness of her own, it seemed that everytime I saw her, she was still jolly and laughing and keeping everyone around her in stitches.. She’d greet you with a long drawn out…. “Hey, Girrrrrrrrrrrl !” and have you giggling in no time. She will certainly be missed.
But at the opposite end of the spectrum, our newest niece, Presley Faith, arrived yesterday. She arrived on 2/21 at 2:21 and was 21 inches long. How is THAT for making a statement? She was due on Feb. 29th. Her mom thought, without a doubt, that she would arrive on that day and be a leap day baby, but little Presley had a mind of her own and decided there was too much of the world to see to wait another week. Mom and baby are doing fine. I’m not sure about Dad.

Love the name of the baby…and the 21’s or the 2’s and 1’s are amazing. I think one of those numbers should be lucky for her in life.
My aunt Nancy used to call me her “precious”…I can still hear her soft, southern drawl say, “…and how is my precious?” Hold on to the good and let go of the not so good.
