I swear I started this blog as a learning exercise. My kids have or have had blogs, sheesh, who doesn't? And I figured I ought to know how these things work. Keep up or get left out. I didn't do it because I thought I had anything to say that anyone needed to hear. In fact, I kept reassuring myself that I could, after all, always delete the whole thing..
But it turned out to be both satisfying (if at times frustrating) and useful since there's no way to keep in touch with everyone as one would like to . I do think, in retrospect, that as far as keeping an accurate personal record, a private journal is probably preferable.
Anyway, as a widening number of friends already know, I abruptly changed plans and flew home last week because one of our offspring got sick with mono. It was a decision of the heart, not the mind, because she will be fine. But I am where I need to be. Thank you to all the friends who helped out; it meant so much to her and me both.
And if you have been reading this blog, thank you. It ends, I think, right here. Cheers!
