Journal for 20 Nov 2007
Lisa’s grandmother passed away this morning. It was sad news, but not unexpected. Plans for Thanksgiving have been adjusted accordingly.
2007 has given us Mathias, the most wonderful little baby in the world. Unfortunately, between this and other events, his birth is starting to look like an exceedingly bright point in what’s turning out be a relatively dark year.

Lisa has put together a collection of photos of the last visit with her grandmother up on Flickr.
Hey Mark, I just wanted to pass along my condolences on the passing of your wife’s grandmother. I check out your website every now and again and happened to come across it today….your little boy is adorable - congratulations! I just wanted to share a little nugget of info with you - back in 2003 when my son was born, I lost 3 of my 4 grandparents, 2 while I was on maternity leave. It was an extremely difficult time in my life as I was very close to both my dad’s parents and they both passed away within a month of each other, with my grandfather passing away 4 years ago today. Everyone in my family commmented on the fact that the birth of my son was the one bright spot in 2003 - so my son Tyson shares the “bright spot” with your little Mathias. Take care and (try to) have a Happy Thanksgiving.
