I've been away only a week but there has been a lot happening, and not just with my family but my friends and relatives. It's almost too much news, and I feel a bit overwhelmed. I've somehow missed celebrating my son-in-law's birthday and now we're on to dining with his parents sometime this weekend. Oh, dear! I'm going up to stay a couple of nights with my older son, his wife and my grandson, and can't wait to see what tricks he's learned. I miss my grandkids so much. Last night I saw my foster granddaughter at her school performing in the chorus. She had a tiny solo and the chorus was the best ever, and I've been coming for 3 years. When all the applause was over and she came up to me, I was stunned with how beautiful and grown up she looked. The times they are a changin! Next fall she begins junior high. Oh, me, oh, my!
I am carving out space next week to see my friends and catch up. We're all experiencing pregnancy of daughters, grandbabies soon to be born, retirement, travel and so much more. It's an exciting time for us, and our friendships ground us amidst the changes. They are my lifeline!
