Such love he has for you. And you for him, showing him how the fall happened. I must say your ribs must be much improved if you could do that! I am so happy these reunions are happening. They need you as much as you need them. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-45804932295466779452020-08-20T20:14:53.735-04:002020-08-20T20:14:53.735-04:00I love the lesson in stair climbing.

One of my friends, whose son is an herbalist and naturalist, had his daughter age five spend time with her, bringing some wild mushrooms he'd gathered.<br /><br />Grandma, she said, I need to explain this to you. These mushrooms? My Daddy picked them and they're safe to eat. But you must never, never pick them unless you're with him and he sees them first. Okay? So my friend solemnly agreed to this arrangement, and her gd was content.<br /><br />Evidently it was the safety rules her son had impressed on his daughter who saw him out all the time picking wild edibles!Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-30627201702943326142020-08-20T17:15:40.474-04:002020-08-20T17:15:40.474-04:00Sometimes it's easier to appreciate what kids ...Sometimes it's easier to appreciate what kids say if they aren't your kids.
