There’s been a lot of changes around The Only Girl Compound this past week, and I’m not just talking about my fabulous new blog makeover.  No, I’m talking about changes in my family.  Some have been good, some have not been.

In the past week my extended family has seen the newborn addition of one member, and the loss of another.

One with a brand new life ahead of them.  A clean slate.  An empty plate.  With wondrous things to come.

And one with a long, full life now behind them.  Leaving behind lots of wonderful memories that will remain forever in our heads and our hearts.

“Forever loved.  Never forgotten.”

And so a new week will soon begin.  And the daily grind will continue.  And I’m sure there will be more changes along the way.

Fingers crossed that they’re good ones!
