Siblings Meet

Two heartwarming tales. I spotted this Chicago Tribune story about two octogenarians who only recently discovered that they were brothers, both lawyers and live six blocks apart. The article's author described it as Dickensian. How appropriate for this season!

Then, I popped over to Boothe Farley's blog since they were expecting a third daughter around Thanksgiving. Their news is fantastic. They welcomed a beautiful baby girl, with another unique name (explained in her post) and have found some comfort to assuage the loss of Copeland (who was born with Trisomy-18 and died shortly after birth).

Neat stories to share! I remember reading about Copeland through your earlier blogs. What a neat name they picked out for the new baby girl! ~Karin

I went back and read the article about the 'brothers'--heartwarming for them to know some of their shared ancestory, yet bitter-sweet for the years they didn't have a relationship. ~Karin
