Approaching the day

The anniversary of Noah's birth is approaching. Who knows what will come with the day May 3rd. It is hard not to look to the future and wonder what I will do on that day in 5 years, 30 years. How long will I feel the need to remember, celebrate, grieve on May 3rd - whatever it is I will do. And will it be okay that first year that I don't? I have a hard time focusing on the now. Maybe because I would rather speculate my feelings years from now then actually feel them now. I can tell you I am not looking forward to that day. Inspired by Joe Hays' recollection of Ira's birth, I hope to recall Noah's next week. Like Ira, Noah's birth and the things leading up to it, were overlooked by the unexpected events afterwards.

Check back soon.
