Angel Ruth's Ma, Too!

Some of you readers may not know but, Nathan isn't really an only child. Six years ago today, I gave birth to Angel Ruth Hood. Today she would have been six years old. Due to an infection in my placenta, she was born at twenty weeks. She was perfectly formed without a single flaw. And her small profile was very much like her big brother's. We were blessed to have her as a part of our family even though we were only allowed to hold her for a mere hour. I often think how our lives would be different if she were still here.
Today we visited the cemetery where she is buried. We cleaned around the markers and read the card on the single rose that was left by her Uncle Howie. I am grateful that because I am home visiting for a few weeks, we were able to stop and remember her. To read more about her you can visit my brother's site here.

I am expecting a call at any moment from John or April. We are ready to welcome Cruz Anthony Monjure to our family. I just wish we didn't have to drive to Tampa. I'm sure he will be worth it. There's just nothing like baby sugah!
