Vigil II

We await baby Aune.  So different is this vigil than the other four.  It ranks no larger in importance but it ranks no lesser, also.  The defining difference is proximity.  This time we do not hunker down at our home awaiting texts from our kids or kids in law.  This time we hunker down in our kid’s lake home, 60 miles from our kids in Atlanta who are soon to birth.  It is not our home.  It is not our neighborhood.  Yet we have spent so many meaningful days here in the last 8 years, and have made such great friends here, it feels like home.  News from Ben and Penny show some progress toward birth.  Meanwhile, we rekindle our friendships with neighbors Kenny and Maxine, and Ronnie and Cindy.   Friendly people are everywhere.  Kenny and Maxine, who visited us in 2013 are very special.  We are very comfortable here.  But, baby Aune, please come, please come.
