tunnels…
Today’s prompt is NaBloPoMo: Tell us everything you know about the day you were born. Hmmm…well, I felt like I was sliding down a dark tunnel with a light at the end…hmmm…doesn’t that also sound like how people describe dying? You come into the world the same way you leave? Hmmm…I must go ponder this awhile! I know I was born in a hospital in Boston around 7 in the morning via c-section. I know Dad dropped me on my head (oops! Explains a lot, eh?). I know I was the first live born (my Mom had a still birth before me), so I’m sure there was some anxiety on both their parts. And I know they were thrilled that I was alive and kicking!
Back to work today…sigh…I miss the Cape so much!!! I miss being in the ocean every day, I miss the sand under my feet. I miss wandering the beach looking for shells.

I’m telling you, we just have to think retirement, beach, together or close to each other!

I know that my mom drove herself to the hospital because my dad was in a meeting and that my older sister was glad to finally have a sister (she already had a baby brother plus 2 foster brothers). I’m not sure how long it took her to figure out that a little sister takes away attention from the big sister.
I also know that I haven’t been to a sandy beach in the summer for much too long. I was on a rocky beach last summer, but it’s not the same. My kid gets to go with another family for an entire week next month. I’m jealous.

Vacations are just too damn short. I think it should be the other way around – work two weeks out of the year – and vacation the rest of the time!!!

Your mom and dad must have been thrilled and relieved–a still birth is such a sad thing.
We are thinking of a beach vacay this summer–sand and surf is an unbeatable combo.
