You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I woke up to a truly hilarious email from my daughter in Perth describing highlights from her family life over the last month. She had me in fits of giggles despite telling me she had pneumonia in August, has another MS drug infusion coming up in October and then a partial hysterectomy in November to clear more of the endometriosis tissue. I cannot help feeling some comfort from the thought that some of the simply obstinacy I had to exert while raising her under challenging circumstances has obviously rubbed off, and while it may have made our relationship fraught for long periods of time good stuff is never really lost, there are always silver linings. And boy, those grandkids of mine are just like her, bright, beautiful, and oh such little devils...

Life is good up here in the big city on this Spring morning.
