Stephany,
Out of the dusty trunks comes this message of congratulations and extreme goodwill and happiness for you. We met a few years ago, you were kind enough to share your home with me when I visited from Montreal with your brother Dennis, riddled with anxiety....better now.

Somewhat uncomfortable about writing this to you, not really my place but touched by the birth of your son Luke. The TIC TOCK TIC TOCK, louder by the month....sounds of my own body.

I felt I should send you a few words, scratch that, sentences.

Happy Happy motherhood!!! Congratulations to one of the kinder and gentless person I've met.

Woo-hoo stephka! Well done. Congrats to you and David, and a big welcome-to-the-world to Luke. I’ll start looking for books for him.

Be well, be happy, and show us pictures as soon as you can.
