I wonder if Jessie can help heal some of the wounds you still bear from your complicated relationship with your mom. Maybe that's not at all how it works. Maybe it just is that we hold joy and pain in the same moment, sometimes more than at other times.

I like your description of being in (and yet not in) all those places and times -- your childhood, your young motherhood, and now -- all at once. I can totally understand that.<br /><br />August is so funny with that hair! And it's funny what you said about the women in those Westerns. I don't think, as a kid, I ever understood the sex angle. I think I thought they were just pretty women hanging around in a bar!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-3485144395746629092019-05-03T13:47:20.964-04:002019-05-03T13:47:20.964-04:00Dearest Mary-

Milo is 16! How did that happen? And Eden is moving to Europe!!! I mean she's getting an EU passport and really moving there. While I can go visit, it will be terribly hard to have her so far away. Your post reminded me of the feeling, almost like losing a limb...or a part of your heart. <br /><br />Great and beautiful love to you, dear woman. Promise me you'll go see the Aretha movie. I cried and laughed and clapped and stomped. It was heavenly. We mortals are so lucky she came to live among us. beth coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671290135595711572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-17173481855835752002019-05-03T09:06:28.369-04:002019-05-03T09:06:28.369-04:00Post, not part!

Katie's birthday did that to me for years as well.<br /><br />Sending love and hugs. I'm glad you're able to write it all done because I believe that writing helps to get it out of your head.<br /><br />And of course the grandchildren, they're just so beautiful:)My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-7963853632888064612019-05-03T02:10:38.714-04:002019-05-03T02:10:38.714-04:00A lovely part.
