Here comes Julie

Here comes Julie

Promise me you’ll always remember:

“You’re braver than you believe, 

 stronger you seem and smarter than you think”

September 12.   ,

After 2 weeks of waiting I thought this was the day..  Saturday morning  I woke up with pains,  Bill was at work.  I called the neighbor and good friend Lori to see if she would watch Lizy while we went to the hospital.  Then called your dad home and we went.  After getting examined, they sent me home, it wasn’t our time for you.

September 19, 1975

We were expecting you to arrive 3 weeks ago.  The doctor decided we would induce labor today.  It was strange to go in the hospital, I was feeling fine.  But after we were there I felt that this was a good day.  It was a sunny day and we had waited such a long time to see you.  After 3 1/2 hours of waiting  you were here..   A little less dramatic, and you were so cute with your red hair.  You were quiet..  Then, after you arrived we found out that Doug was born just the day before.  Maybe you two would be good friends.   we already had your name picked out, but we also had a boys name of Anthony, just in case.  I had always liked the name Julie.  It was my cousin’s name and she was very nice.  You were finally here,  we had planned on you being a playmate for Lizy   I can’t wait.

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.
