more good news

In addition to the good news on the national front, I heard from a friend yesterday, a man who married his high school sweetheart years ago. They've quietly and gracefully resigned themselves to being unable to have children -- made adjustments, continued with their lives. Except the wife got pregnant a while back and carried the baby nearly to term. They have a new daughter, born just a touch early last Saturday, named Adelaide Cyrille. They're already calling her Lady Surreal and are hoping to bring her home today or tomorrow. When I heard the news, I started crying all over again. Welcome, little Adelaide!
