The day he was born changed my life in so many ways. I became a big sister, which I always say has been one of my favorite jobs. I also witnessed a home birth for the first time which had such a powerful impact on me that it is how I chose to bring my baby into the world. I cut his umbilical cord which is a big deal for anybody but was especially monumental for little seven year old me. It was a very hearty cord and it required more effort than I expected. It needed to be hearty to support such an amazing little person - a person who has grown up to be an amazing man.
Cory was around while I was in labor with Eddy and kept our girl Lucy busy and happy. In a way, having him there felt like things had come full circle.
I am so proud to call Cory my brother. If you know him, count yourself lucky.
