tomorrow is my niece’s 8th birthday. It is also my brother’s 41st birthday. She was the best birthday present he ever got.
Her original due date was 15th April, tax day in the States. When my brother heard that he said ‘Nope, she’ll be born on the 18th.’ And she was.
My first view of her was being held by a nurse by her head and her heels, screaming her head off, just a few moments after she was born. I was suppose to be in the room when she was born, but my sister in law had some difficulty so my niece was an emergency C-Section. I have never seen my brother beam as bright as when he was standing next to that nurse as she held his first child.
She’s my special girl. So is her sister. I miss them both every day.
Happy Birthday for Tomorrow, my special girl. And to my brother too!
