Today was an amazing day. I got to go snuggle a brand new little baby boy. My sweet nephew was born today, just three weeks early and boy is he a looker. He is the first baby born since John died, and the first boy born for quite a while. His parents named him...wait for it...Riley John Carver. Brings tears to my eyes.
As I was holding this precious little spirit, I couldn't help but imagine John giving him some words of encouragement, and a great send off. I had quite a spiritual experience holding that little guy. I am thankful for the opportunity to be witness to the gift of life, and to feel heaven so close.
