Last fall, a couple we know had a beautiful baby boy. They had known for months that the baby would be born with severe birth defects and would not live long. Even so, they decided that she would carry the baby to term, and they would savor their time with him.
He was born and lived just a short while. But, he was surrounded by loving parents his entire life.
At the funeral, they gave out bulbs and asked people to plant them. My son decided to take our bulb, put it in a small pot, and care for it. All winter long he has been watering it and waiting for it to grow.
This week it bloomed.
