Birth and death

I have only been up for less than three hours (and woke up with a pretty miserable morning headache), but it has already been a morning of birth and death. My friend J gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, 7lb 5oz baby girl at 3:37 this morning, but a read through the paper informed me that my former wind ensemble director's mother died a couple of days ago. Although she was 88, I know the pain that he is feeling right now. It isn't pleasant...

Birth and death...the cycle of life in one day.
