Story (intuitive): And the story of love moves on... The wedding day has passed and behold! The new gift! A babe is born on a cool autumn day, the pains of labor rewarded in the lusty cry. Coming home, there they sit- the family. And as four generations celebrate together, there is a moment of perfect love and contentment that washes over us all. A new child, a new life, the one to carry on the name of the family, the one to pass on the mysteries and traditions. The joy is so immense, the sense of family so complete, that for now all that can be felt is this joyous celebration of life and love!
