On August 8 at 4:30 p.m. I was sitting outside finishing the last book in the Twilight series. This is a Josh-shot to be sure, although he would made sure the line at the top right of the frame was exactly in the corner. Today is my son Paul's 24th birthday and we're celebrating tomorrow at the Old Spaghetti Factory, one of his favorite places to go. Twenty-four years ago I was at St Joseph's hospital in Denver, still laboring through 14 hours of no anesthesia labor. I had a midwife for this birth, and it made all the difference. I still believe that during a routine delivery only a woman can get a baby out of another woman with as little trauma as possible to mother and child. For me, my kids' birthdays are special between us. It was the day we met for the first time and our journeys began. Happy B-day baby boy. August 8, 2009.
