A wonderful video to finish off. (That concert hall! Extraordinary!)
Unfortunately I am one of those much more inclined to apologise, trying to bridge gaps and find ways through. But if someone else is unfairly accused, I’m there like a shot, protecting them. Strange how we learn these approaches. So much to learn about ourselves.
Another emotional post. Sigh…. This too shall pass. Eventually. Take care my dear. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes.
I am not a woman....BUT...I know many... I love some....and I admire all...I had such a kind and strong mother, and have the same in my dear wife and two daughters...thus I know what "in your face" goodness and sacrifice looks like...Our cultural misguided world, and even some mis-interpreted biblical texts, have offered total ignorance...for those who know how to say, "I'M SORRY".....but refuse to.....and I am indeed SORRY!
Just going to say this one thing. Sometimes when my husband sneezes (and I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...Mount Vesuvius!!) and says very quickly, "I'm sorry!" just the tone of his voice tells me he is not really sorry. He could say, "excuse me," and that would work better, because goodness there is no sorry for that sort of explosion (which usually comes in pairs or threes, and every day multiple times a day....). And a trip to the allergy doc might be in order, but NO! Not in his lifetime...I feel like I need to say I am sorry for his sneezes!! What's up with that, I ask you???

Another thought provoking essay, and I especially appreciate the vintage photos of your family. Keep them coming!
