Hail Pleasar

B.H.,

I sup­pose that would all depend on how close you are to these peo­ple. But another thing to keep in mind are all the hec­tic events that sur­round hav­ing a child, notably the act of birthing and rais­ing a child. It’s a sud­den change that takes adjust­ment, dur­ing which time both par­ents may become forgetful.

It’s been my expe­ri­ence that, unless you are imme­di­ate fam­ily, you won’t learn about an actual birth for a few days—and some­times longer. With tech­nol­ogy being the way it is these days, though, it’s not uncom­mon to learn about such things through Twit­ter or a Face­book sta­tus update or even text mes­sage. The man­ner in which we all com­mu­ni­cate is chang­ing rapidly.

Remem­ber that the news of a child is what mat­ters most. The way we learn of such things is inconsequential.

Just my $0.02
