That IS something, isn't it? Kinda reassuring, too. Life goes out, but new life comes in at the same time. The cycle of life. Be interesting to see what that baby grows up to be like, won't it?

When the grandmother that I was closest to died a little over 20 years ago, I was very pregnant with my son. His soon-to-be arrival was one of the family events that helped to serve as a distraction to the grief. I could have done without all the hundreds of distant relatives touching my stomach at the funeral, but they seemed to find reassurance in the idea that life was replacing itself.
