4 Shadow

Foreshadow: a literary device used by the author to suggest certain plot developments that might come later in the story.

I went back to Jenni's first post in August of 2008 and was struck by the foreshadowing.

If you go back and read that, just be careful -- you might get lost (like I did) re-reading Jenni's oft ambiguous prose. I can't help but think back to those anguishing days of late 2008 and wonder why we didn't share our worry with our readers.  To call that post foreshadow implies the author knows the plot twist. We worried, but we didn't know.  No parent would ever write this story. 

But when you click back to the first post, the opening volley sure seems to be right about one thing.  She’s one epic baby. She’s nothing short of sunshine. She's pure goodness, crystallized. She, in my opinion, deserves to be chronicled in song and legend for centuries to come.

Epic? Indeed.
Sunshine? Her light continues to shine through everyone who knew her.
Crystal goodness? Clearly.
Chronicled? Certainly; but, this blog will never suffice.
Legendary? Undeniably.
