On a day like today touched as it was by death (my mother has passed away), I think it somehow fitting that my post focuses on life.
Recently, my nephew Kirk N and his wife added twins to the family tree (the first set since my mother added my sisters to a branch of the same tree back in the late 60's), and Boden N and Brady N have spent some time in the local NICU since their arrival.
My nephew's sister Kylene N, aka my niece, is holding a fundraiser to sponsor Thermal Totes to give to two different NICUs. (I understand that they are donated to new mothers so that they can more easily transport their pumped breast milk.)
Seeing as how *hospice* nurses played a role in helping my mother pass peacefully, it seems that honoring those *NICU* angels who play a role in helping the youngest enter the world is a fitting, full circle kind of way to honor my mother Mary ...
