Addendum to My Mother's Hands

It was pointed out to me today that I had inadvertently left my younger brother, Rich, out of the story completely. At the time, it slipped my mind that I did, in fact, have a fun story to tell regarding his birth. It has very little to do with the focus of this story (Mom's hands) but it is fun to recount. As I mentioned when writing about my older brother's birth, because our family lived so far from the hospital, Mom had to go to the hospital early and wait for labor. Dad took Mom to Lusaka a couple of weeks before her due date. When Dad came to visit her a week or so later, he found her walking around the hospital hallway. He commented to her that she was looking well and moving around so well at this point her her pregnancy. She grinned at him and asked him, "would you like to see your son now?" He couldn't tell that she had already had their baby???? I might have been tempted to smack him. :) :)
