Rainbows and broad smiles

Last night I had a text message. It was from an old friend; it was a birth announcement - a new baby girl has joined their family. I didn't know that they were expecting another baby, and I cried with joy for them, and smiled a big, big smile. 

This new baby has a bouncing big sister (now nearly 4!) and a baby brother too: dear wee Elias, who passed away after only 4 short weeks on this earth.  Welcome to you little one: a rainbow for your mama and papa. I wish you all much peace and happiness as you get to know each other.
