Emma Lily Violet Ryan





Sad Goodbyes and New Beginnings...
Despite cancer  and treatments and fear of loss and endless appointments and issues to be addressed - Eileen Ryan survived her mother's diagnosis and treatment of aggressive terminal cancer to deliver a beautiful baby girl - Emma Lily Violet - and as if the Gods conferred - her mother, although failing rapidly and time running out - with Eileen's "Project Grandmom on Wheels"  and the help of medical emergency personel and an ambulance and Irish relatives bedecking and grooming her - Grandma came to meet her grandbabe.  She came to the room and held little Emma and kissed her on the cheek. Not a dry eye in the place.  Eileen made memories for a lifetime and gave her babe some history.  What a wonderful birthing of a baby it was.  

"Emma Lily Violet, born at 12:12 pm, 4/16/12...8lbs 6oz...beautiful and healthy...and met her grandmother this afternoon."

Eileen Freda Ryan passed away at 6pm 4/18/12 - 30 years to the day and time of her beloved husband Thomas.

IN ALL IT'S GLORY!

Woke up on a glorious spring day after
2 days of grueling 12 hour shifts in the ER.
Birds were chirping and light was pouring in all over!




I treated myself to a housecleaning by Anna
 and a dog grooming for the boys.  
Spring Cleaning All Over!


After freeing them from the groomers we "romped"
and took time to appreciate
- SPRING -
In all it's Glory! 










A day off can't be more reinvigorating than that!!!
