A Day of Mixed Emotions

Today is a day of mixed emotions. We got the call from the hospital late last night that the girls had moved into an open crib and will be coming home on Sunday. For 33 long days, I have been anxiously awaiting that call and thought there would be nothing but tears of joy. But instead, today there are tears of joy and sadness.

As excited as I am for the girls to be home and in my arms, every time I think about that moment they come home, I can't help but think of the friend I lost this week and her newborn son. All the moments they should be sharing together yet right now her family is attempting to deal with the unimaginable tragedy of her loss. Suzy was an amazing person, mother and friend. She gave me some of the best advice on motherhood and life. I still can not believe she is gone.

So here are my little princesses, anxiously awaiting tomorrow... with an angel from heaven watching over them :-)
