The U.N. forecast our world population would hit 7 billion by October
31, 2011. I'm a numbers guy and I wondered who in the world would be
that 7 billionth baby. A little surprise showed up on my Facebook
message box from my mother's sister, Marcie. She was announcing the
birth of her first grandchild, Judah...born at 1am on 11-1-11. What are
the odds of that? Welcome to the planet, little buddy. Your arrival
on All Souls Day is a special tribute to your cousin who got called up
to Heaven while still inside the womb. May you be blessed with more
siblings and cousins in the future as I have been in my life. And may
your family remember the tribute you paid your older cousin by arriving
at such a special time on a day when we remember the souls who have
departed.
To my Aunt Marcie and Uncle Mike, I just
wanted to say congratulations on your upgraded status as grandparents. This fresh arrival is a new chapter to add to the four seasons of your lives
together. It is such a blessing to be connected to your family and I
look forward to the joys all your grandchildren will bring you, in
Heaven and on earth.

Thank you Mike for your tribute on this beautiful day 11-1-11. We are very blessed and honored that you have devoted your post to all of us. Larry & Sarah will be great parents to Judah. And we will do our best to be the best grandparents we can possibly be as well. Love to all! <3 Aunt Marcie
Aunt Marcie,
There is no doubt you will be outstanding grandparents. Larry and Sarah have been blessed with top-notch role models and they will be awesome parents. Enjoy your bundle of joy and don't forget to post some more pics.
Love,
Michael
