Bittersweet

Wow, today was very bittersweet for me. My mother called me at work this afternoon and told me that her brother, my uncle Carl, had passed away. I felt a a lump in my throat and tried so hard to hold back tears as I remembered my uncle. I went to the restroom for about 15 minutes and I just cried as I thought about all of the good times that I shared with him.

A couple of hours after receiving the news about Uncle Carl, I was celebrating the birth of Mr Liam Peterson at work. He is a beautiful baby boy of my coworker. I almost shed a tear when I held Liam because he represented new life and an answered prayer because God truly blessed Kelly with an uneventful labor and a healthy baby boy.
