“Family” or “Another cousin once-removed”

Just recieved word that my cousin Jenn had her second son, Simon. 8 lbs, 6 oz., 20 inches long.

To be honest, I haven’t been good at keeping close tabs on my cousins’ kids. I know they have them, and I see them when we get together and enjoy watching their families grow… Just hard to keep track of it all.

But Simon’s birth announcement jumped out at me when I read this line in my uncle Dennis’ e-mail. To frame it with some context, Aunt Joyce passed away in November.

“This was a very significant day for me. It would have been Joyce’s and my 35th wedding anniversary, now it will be Simon’s birthday. God is good.”

God is good indeed.
