Most things that are worth anything do. I don't think I realized myself how much work was required until I was in the thick of it. <BR/><BR/>I love the way you talk to CG about how she came into your family. I remember well my own parents' struggle with how to talk about it with my brother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962422.post-1147660918986524962006-05-14T22:41:00.000-04:002006-05-14T22:41:00.000-04:00beautiful poem, and post, Susan.

Sounds as if you and Politica give each other a lot of parental breathing room as well, and are kind about each others' trespasses. Lovely.<BR/><BR/>I did have a good Mother's day, thanks. I posted more, as the OD woke up and we started a jam packed afternoon!<BR/><BR/>Blessing to all the moms, in all their manifestations!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962422.post-1147635104489805862006-05-14T15:31:00.000-04:002006-05-14T15:31:00.000-04:00Beautiful.

This to me is often a blessing, but sometimes a struggle.<BR/><BR/>I do sometimes wish, though, that I could trap now in amber. To study now, to drink it in so that it doesn't get lost in tomorrow and tomorrow.
