I (heart) my family

I was reading another blog today that mentioned a bunch of other blogs but this particular one caught my eye. This blog is about a guy who is raising his baby and grieving his wife. I went back to March and started reading some of the entries. I noticed this blog went back to 2007 but I didn't go back that far. Him and his wife were at the hospital having the baby. The first post was getting ready to have the baby and there was the excitement and joy when the baby was born. There was even a picture of the mom smiling at her new baby. The next day's post was the mom's obit. That stuff just tears me up. I did read in the paper a few months ago of a "local" (west Michigan) man whose wife died during childbirth to triplets. I can't even grasp how you handle every day life with 3 new babies to love and care for with no time to grieve. I pray he has lots of help.

I had ladies night out tonight and we went to the new CityVu Bistro. The atmosphere was nice and the view was great but I wasn't impressed with the food. As always though it was nice to be out with the girls and have a dinner out where Mac & Cheese or chicken nuggets was ordered.
