I remember the waves of emotions I felt after having my first child. I did not realize it then, but they now call it "post-partum" depression. I must remember these feelings as I try to understand why in We Are Just a Speck of Dust

My daughter does not share in telling me about the birth of her child on Sunday. He was full term, a big boy, 9 pounds, 4 ounces and but is having breathing problems and was transferred to ICU. She has not called me yet to talk about the birth or her feelings. It is hard to identify because I was so close to my mother. She and I shared daily, all of those special happenings in life. My daughter lives quite far away and I have only received a text message from her.
