meeting my niece
When you come from a large family you get spread apart. My nieces and nephews who live far away have their own lives and I hardly know them. I hear about their lives from their mothers or other aunts but really it is hard to know them when they live on the other side of the country. We are a lot better than my mother’s family were.

a little prayer
Dear Diary, It took me a long time to get back to sleep last night after I woke up through the night. I know many women my age experience this sometimes. I know I am not alone in the middle of the night, that lots of you are awake out there too. It is a comfort to know that lots of you are out there, resting quietly, reading, saying your prayers. It is part of … Read entire article »
