My Dar

My lifelong neighbor of 24 years and best girl, Darleen, just told me a few hours ago that they are finally expecting a baby!! I'm so happy for them. Can't believe its true...All those years of playing house together--wow. I feel like I'm experiencing it with you! Love you.

Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest,
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime:
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
But if thou lived remembered not to be,
Die single, and thy image dies with thee.
Shakespeare~Sonnet III
