I love reading the goings-on over at The Sandwich Life. I should hate it because she is so good at being there for her kids and husband -- as well as her elderly parents. And she works. And she writes. And she takes photos of all of the fun.
But I don't hate reading about her life because she's honest about where the gaps are and about when she comes up empty in the equation. Her spirit inspires me.
I don't know if I could do what she does.
Soon I will find out. D's mom is moving from her house 45-minutes away to a condominium three minutes from here. Mostly, I think this move will be good for all of us. I will welcome more fluidity in our interactions. Maybe they'll be more frequent, but maybe they'll be shorter. It certainly will reduce stress on all fronts because, if there is a problem, we can get there lickety-split.
It's going to be a weird/hard shift for me, but I am inspired by Cynthia.
ohhhhh, you just brought me to tears. What a wonderful gift to me to write those words. Thank you so much with all my heart.
