From the time I was able to put pencil to paper, I’ve been a list-maker; in fact, I’ve been known to make lists of lists I need to create! So when I first heard of Moorea Seal’s 52 Lists Project, I was intrigued and rushed to check it out. I paged through the book and knew I wanted to participate in 2017. To that end, every Sunday I will post my own list for that week’s topic.
1. September 16, 1984 — the day after my wedding, with all the hoopla behind me, enjoying a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at the now-old Bush Stadium with my new husband
2. August 23, 1986 — at the end of a long, very exciting day, sitting in my quiet, dimly-lit hospital room with my 7-hour-old son, holding him and sharing with him my hopes and dreams for him
3. March 22, 1989 — watching from my hospital bed as my husband held my son, who held his 5-hours-old baby sister
4. Every moment the four — and more recently, the three — of us have been together
