There was one in the bathroom for a few days and I know it didn't get thirsty. Could be the same one. And Lord knows there's always a stray bug or two to eat. <br />I think (hope and pray) that young people are indeed becoming more open to being who they are, even if that is different. And accepting of others. Things really have changed a lot in that regard. Not enough! Not nearly enough. But it is happening. <br />I have looked and looked for property down there and it is rare to find anything on the river, especially anything that would be at all affordable. But I won't give up looking. <br />Wouldn't you LOVE to grow mangos?

Rushing, rushing, rushing....I bump into things too. Rushing, rushing, rushing. Always rushing blindly. <br />I think that at this point, August is absolutely comfortable with his pink shoes and shirts and backpack. He likes what he likes and he is fine with that. And I seriously doubt that he even notices what other kids wear. His mind just does not work like that. <br />You know I wouldn't/couldn't leave my babies. I mean, sure, for a few weeks at a time but not permanently. I know how lucky I am. And no, you can never leave Katie. I understand that. <br />I'm sorry you made yourself cry. Damn. Being a mother is so hard. And grandmother, as you know better than anyone.

And yet, I truly think it would be doable if we didn't put a lot of pressure on ourselves. But- here we are. Castles in the air. <br />Neither boy has asked for a dress for a long time. It really does make me sad. I'm sure Maggie would like one though. <br />And yes, good for your mother for defending your brother! That took courage.

And they were all green unless they climbed onto something brown. This is another variety of them, I think. Invasive, probably. I do not touch them. I mean, I would, to save one's life. But only then. Or maybe if one was on a baby. I do not mind being close to them though. They are shy and yet, bold at the same time. I admire them. <br />I am always glad to visit with you, my love.

Do you think he wants to get outside, or is he happy indoors?<br /><br />It's so great how many young people these days are better at being themselves and avoiding the categorizing and stereotyping that went on in our generation. I mean, it still happens, but in general there's an openness to individuality now. It's beautiful to see.<br /><br />Even though you couldn't buy that particular property in Roseland, I wonder if you should keep an eye out for something similar nearby?

I would love that level of self acceptance as well. I so often beat myself up, maybe that's why I always have bruises on me (acutally it's from bumping into things, all the time). <br /><br />I wondered if you would be able to leave your children and grandchildren. You're so lucky to have them all so close to you. I could never leave Edmonton because of Katie. I wouldn't leave her alone to face the world. I guess that's my job, guarding her from the world, even now, and will be until I die. Now I've made myself cry.

I think your fantasy about that house is nearly as good as the reality. In one sense, you've got the house.<br /><br />So the dresses are a thing of the past? Nice while it lasted. I remember my mother saying one of my brothers liked to play with dolls when he was very small, and she defended him against all sorts of criticism. Good for her. I liked that nobody made the grandson feel bad about dresses, when he was so happy.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-83258296068961666932023-02-12T10:02:12.357-05:002023-02-12T10:02:12.357-05:00You write so well, Mary, and express feelings that...You write so well, Mary, and express feelings that I feel in words that I can't always find.
