Putting It All In Perspective

My best-friend-from-Washington, Judy, e-mailed this morning that her daughter, Shira, a 32yo attorney in Boston, had her first child this morning by C-section, several weeks early. Zachary was born with a heart defect that has been corrected with a catheterization, but he is in ICU. He was born with only one ear, a condition with which his mother was also born.

Stories like this make my perceived troubles seem pretty small.

Please keep Shira and baby Zachary in your thoughts and prayers.
