Happy 13th Birthday 
Chloe Laurella!!!


I love her.  She was born exactly one week after my grandmother -- named Laurella -- died.  She was balm for an aching heart.  Where there was sorrow she brought joy.  One of the sweetest pictures I have of her when she was first born was of my grandfather holding her tightly.  He had been married to my grandmother for over 60years.
Beautiful.
