Circle of life →[More:]On Christmas Day George's nephew and his wife announced that she was expecting a baby. They weren't going to tell anyone for a while, because she was only just a few weeks pregnant, but last Christmas was rough for the family, so Jared and Cassandra wanted to bring some good news. It was the first Christmas without George, and Christmas Day would've been his 54th birthday.

Today Elias was born, 9 months and one day after George died. As his life ended, a new one was created.

Tears of happiness today.

Congratulations, EJ. May Elias bring you and the family great joy - I'm sure you'll always feel a special bond with him.

Mazel Tov on the new arrival, ej! Funny how things work, huh?

I love that name, too. Elias. Happy Birthday, Elias.

I am both sad for your loss and happy for your gain.
