My first daughter, Mariella (2 months old today!) enriches my life every single day. The extent to which birth is the opposite of death only really hit me at 07.17 on the 17th of September 2010. It doesn't 'make up' for those we have lost, but it does seem to make it easier to carry. Sorry if this sounds trite.
I note that Prince William and Kate 'Charles' Middleton are getting married. Why did he give her his mum's old engagement ring? Given that Diana Spencer's marriage was a disaster and she died in a car crash then it could hardly be described as a good luck charm. Still, it's one less thing we have to pay for.
