I was getting on the freeway this morning, waiting at the last stop light on Naperville Blvd before the entrace ramp, when I noticed the license plate of the car just ahead of me. It read "AUG 22". And of course, I couldn't help but think of Emy.

And my heart turned a bit as I recalled that it was just a few days over six months since Emy became a mother, and Ben a father, to Andi. One cannot measure the weight of the human heart, and the feelings it holds, at these moments. How I love you Ben and Em. How I look forward to seeing you soon.
