Maris was born 24 years ago today at Columbus Hospital in Chicago. I had been in the hospital on and off for days...weeks. the doctor had been trying to stop premature labor since the 20th week of pregnancy. I was so afraid.
Maris was so premature, he turned out to be a Scorpio rather than a Pisces.
I am sending love and gratitude to his friends, and to everyone who loved him. You brought joy to his life, and are very special to us.
We are so grateful to know you through Maris. Thank you for being part of our lives.
