Strange Days
October 14, 2008, goes down as a unique one for me.
For the first time in my life, my circle of acquaintances had a birth and a death on the exact same day.
I got both pieces of news when I got to work this morning. Festive decorations on a cubicle, heartfelt sorrow in an email. The Alpha and the Omega all at once.
Both families are in my prayers, albeit very different prayers for each.

Same thing happened to me on May 15, 2008; my friend Emily's son was born a few hours after I had to put my Rhett to sleep. Gave me great solace at the time.
