small

what a weekend
when i look back on it, i think there is one word to sum it up... small.
first of all, i must say that the amount of free time this weekend was quite small with projects, volunteering, and working... rather busy.
but the highlight of the weekend was definitely getting to go visit the fieldhouses in the hospital and meeting tessa for the first time... i don't know if you guys knew this (i think it's common knowledge) but babies are small... and when i got to hold her, the small-ness became a much different reality than i've known before... i mean she wasn't even a day old yet! let me tell you, this girl just melts your heart when you hold her!

but i also realized this... there is life in this little baby... and i got to thinking through these past few days, that we are born with life (well, duh, but hear me out). of course we don't stay small forever, we eventually grow... but i think that life is always as small as it was the day we were born... life is still as fragile as that day. why am i getting all semi-philosophical with this?

i just got news that one of my good friends from the tennis camp i did in hawaii this summer died. my age. senior in high school. he lost control of his car on a highway, got thrown from his car as it flipped multiple times. he wasn't found until the morning after and was found dead.
