I was only 14 years old and so excited that you would've thought it was me who was having a baby! My niece's name is Holly, she is named in honor of two of my aunts who have passed. The funny thing is that the hospital where she was born has a huge holly tree that you could see from the room where her and my sister were staying!

The Holly Tree

I stood outside her window waiting to hear the news.

I waited, and waited, and waited until finally at

7:02 I heard the joyous news, she had finally

come! I stood there and cried. I lifted a branch to

wipe away a tear and then I heard her mother say

to me Holly is here!
