A Simple twist of fate.

In the early morning of his wedding night my nephew died. It was a second story fall to the driveway below. He was non responsive when the Med Flight picked him up. He was dead. Yet they brought him back, thank you Boston.

It took months of rehab and two families that pulled together with so much love and support. Yet they brought him back as strong as he ever was.

Last night they had a baby girl. I am a great aunt again for the 5th time. She is so beautiful. No, not bragging here, she is beautiful.

Happy Birthday Callie~

They went back a year later to see their room and the stairway. They took pics from where he fell and posted them. I saw them late one night and cried. They then went to the police department to thank them. One officer said, buddy I never thought you would make it.

Miracles happen.

Callie is a very special baby, and she has a special great aunt. She will always remind you of how fragile yet resilient we humans are. He must be over the moon! Give him and Callie a big DU hug!!!

Thank the fates for EMS and medical professionals. Your nephew must be a strong, determined man.

And a new baby!
