I’m sorry your life is so complicated, DC, but I don’t think there was ever a day I doubted your ability to muddle through triumphant.

My kids have been gone so long I forgot that they were ever short little people who thought I was a goddess (son) and an ogre (daughter) wrapped up in the person who put the best doggone meals on the table!

See what you have to look forward to?
