A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...

...so i need to go visit my darling sister, who happens to live on a highly popular tropical island chain in the middle of the pacific ocean. She is about to become a momma again.

Tomorrow, a wonderful young woman on a different, yet equally beautiful island nearby, will be induced and give birth to a baby boy (at least we've been told it's a boy). Then she will do one of the most compassionate things any woman could ever do in this mortal life: and give that baby to my sister's family to keep forever and ever. Whenever there's a family who desperately wants to have children, but for any number of reasons can't, it is women like this one who are literally saviors in their lives, providing something they can't do for themselves.

Naturally, my sweet sister would love it if I could be there for this event. I was there almost 5 years ago when they became parents. Now the happy trio and I will fly over and then the 5 of us will take this perfect little boy home with us.

So I've got to dash to the airport and jumpseat my way there. I'll be off till next week, but maybe I'll be able to update remotely. I'm amazed this is happening...she's waited SO long! ♥
