February was a hard month for our family with the passing of three family members within 3 weeks of each other:
Betty - Hubby's Mom, My MIL, Grandma to 7, Great-Grandma to 4
Bev - Aunt, (Betty's sister-in-law)
Rich - Uncle (Betty's brother)
We celebrated their lives with tears and laughter. They will be greatly missed.
In a few weeks we will be celebrating new life. My daughter Courtney and her cousin Aimee are expecting! Aimee is expecting a girl in April and my daughter is expecting a boy in June.

It is a sad time when the senior members of family leave us. February was a tough time for you all. Love the photo of the promised new life. Babies are such a joy. We lost my mum last September, and my 89 year old Dad enjoys the visits from two of his great grand children of 3months and 9 months. ( I love 'em too!)
Sorry to hear about your losses. And wonderful news at the same time about the new lives about to start. How exciting, is it their first child and first time grandma?
The losses are hard to take but those new little ones will bring you great joy!
So sorry for your losses. I'm glad your family has something to look forward to bringing new life into your lives.
Life is funny that way!
It's so difficult to lose a family member, and three in one month must have been devastating. I hope you're able to focus on happy memories. I love the photo of the two expectant moms. The new babies will surely share plenty of fun times together throughout childhood. How lucky they'll be to have a cousin so close in age.
Sorry to hear about your family's loss. It's never easy but hopefully the arrival of two new little ones will lessen the grief and bring lots of fun times ahead.
Sorry to hear about your losses, but I hope your family can find joy in the new arrivals.
Sad to lose family members so close together, glad you could have time with other family to celebrate their lives and look forward to new little ones to come.
Sorry about your losses Nise, but so thrilled about your niece and daughter.
My daughter is due in 4 weeks and DIL in 17 weeks:) (both are having girls)
It was a very hard month for your family, and two siblings, my goodness, that was a tough one. So happy to hear about the new lives coming soon, that will be wonderful. Great picture.
Golly, so much loss and so much joy all in one family! It's wonderful that these two little ones will come on the heels of your losses. Those young mothers look beautiful!
