Good old Becky

I told my sister about the baby tonight (over the phone). It was awesome. She got so excited, then started to cry. She said she's "so happy" for Andrew and me and "very proud" of us. Then she said she was going to go shopping tomorrow to get baby clothes...and baby food, and bottles, and a "goodnight" book, and so on. Finally she said she had to go right away because she needed to tell EVERYONE that she was going to be an aunt! She's too funny. She's going to be an amazing aunt.

I must admit, though, that telling Becky really made me miss Grandma. For so many years, it's been the four girls: Gram, Mom, Becky and me. Not being able to tell Grandma definitely makes me feel like something is missing. In my heart I know she is watching and listening, but it's just not the same as her being here.
