Principle in the type:  "If we looked at mortality as the whole of existence, then pain, sorrow, failure, and short life would be calamity. But if we look upon life as an eternal thing stretching far into the premortal past and on into the eternal post-death future, then all happenings may be put in proper perspective."    Spencer W. Kimball

KIDDOS

In a revolutionary surgery, a woman born without a uterus, received her mother's womb and bore a son.  Emelie Ericksson "was told she would never be able to have children."  But amazingly did, and from the same womb that gave her life!   "It's like science fiction. . . . in the future," but "it's about me," says Eriksson.      story

Principle in the type:  "May the laughter of children gladden our hearts.  May the faith of children soothe our souls.  May the love of children prompt our deeds."   Thomas S. Monson

SUSTAIN YOURSELF

Look, I'm really sad about the Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber break-up.  They never married (and I'm a sucker for marriage).  Still it was 11 years and 2 kiddos.  "It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship."    news

Principle in the type:  "I sustain myself with the love of family."     Maya Angelou

Ya'know how them preggers lady cows get to waggin their tails harder as labor contractions kick up?  (I'm listening to George Strait right now.  Don't mind the accent.)   ---Well the University of New Hampshire folk attached a sensor (the "Moocall") to them fine tails, and now the boss can receive a text about an hour before Junior comes.  So far so good.   (You human Dads-to-Be don't get any bullish ideas.  Just stay with your honey like big boys.)    story
