My sister Jean and Pat got married at the pagoda by Narragansett Beach. My father walked Jean down the aisle. It was an incredible day.
Yesterday, I took a walk with my mother and my sister Jean, and we ended up going by the pagoda by Narragansett Beach.
I said to Jean, “Go stand in the aisle!” The aisle where she walked on September 20th with my father.
She stood there and I said, “Let me see the profile!”
She obliged.
From September 20th, a miracle day if ever I saw one, to February 15, another miracle day. It’s hard, sometimes, to feel the joy of what is happening. There will always be pain mixed in with it. But then … to see that profile …
there is a blaze of joy …
I already love that little baby so so much! I can’t wait to meet it!!!!
Cashel, who is at this point cousin-less, said to me on Christmas morning, when we were both up before everyone else and having some cereal in the kitchen, “You know what is the best Christmas present ever?”
I was already beside myself, for various reasons. “What, Cash?”
He said, “Auntie Jean being pregnant.”
I agree, Cash. I agree. Good boy. Good good boy.
You’re a miraculous person, my dear Sheila, and I love you. xxx Stevie
Do we know yet if it’s a boy or a girl?
I love that baby. I love Cashel. And Jean,and the rest of the O’Malleys. I am glad that there is “hope” involved. Hang in there, guys. Can’t wait for that baby!!
Lisa – they’re going to wait and see what it is on the big day! Like Jean said, with her laptop propped on her belly, “There are no surprises anymore. I want to be surprised!”
Can’t wait!!
Beth – and I love you!!!!
I love how much you are with us in this time. I can’t wait for the baby either!
Stevie – I love you too!

Your grace and beauty is going to be passed on to yet another piece of your family. This is amazing, Sheila.
