your grandma (tabby) is a special, special lady. she is the one who has taught me much of what I know, much of what i do, without even realizing it. she never wrote me letters, but she did teach me in her own way, mostly in ways without words, as the biggest lessons seemed to get learned. she is 66 today. we celebrated at dinner tonight while you stayed with nana and daa. i hope you get to know your grandparents well into your adult life. they have a lot of love to give and a lot of life still left in them. there's much more to being a good parent than making all the right decisions. (thank God!) i see parents as lovers of those who are extensions of themselves. our children are on loan, and we are stewards of God's ultimate gift, lives. i sense the only way to succeed in parenting, as in anything, is to stay connected to the Branch. yes, He will teach us to love, and lead, and breathe, and rest and have fun.
Dear Sadie.
