Beautiful Life

Today was one of those days that reminds you how beautiful life is.

Today my cousins Josh and Joy had a beautiful little baby girl. I think a new little life is a wonderful reminder of how amazing life is, how special and incredible.

But it's not just this sweet little girl that did it. It's their sweet parents, too.

They named their little baby Alyssa Jacqueline, for my mom.

I've been crying happy tears most of the day.

Life and love do not end. They continue on forever, in some form. Just a week ago I was writing about  how much I missed her and loved her and now today there is a little girl in the world with her name. I think it's amazing.
