A great day

Last week, we lost my sister. She was of advanced age with dementia. Sad and we'll miss her. But this morning, my grandson called to tell me the wonderful news that he and his wife have welcomed a new baby girl into the world! The circle of life!

My despair is not infrequent. If I collapse through the crisis, the landscape changes. Thus far, anyway.
