I hear my grand daughter Caroline squealing with delight as Grammy plays with her. I am in my office downstairs. Caroline is 13 months old and beginning to expand her vocabulary but what is most miraculous is the energy and delight she brings to life. Sometimes I take that sense of child like wonder for granted.
Kathy and I returned home from Europe and I was greeted by a voice mail that warned my mother was gravely ill. I quickly made several calls to get an update and determined I … (3 comments)
