His ability to forgive the apartheid government was an inspiration to us all. (I found your blog via Buzz, Balls and Hype, BTW, and am enjoying browing though it.) Mandela is indeed a hero!

Little Hendersons did a Who Tribute concert last night and have another tonight. Was lots of fun! (P.S. to Daisuke - Got everything - looks GREAT - will be in touch Monday.) Next week is going to rock, and I know why – because it’s your week at the park.

My younger son was hungry the whole time; we'll see how much meaning sunk in. Good luck with the contest, Bev! If you're comfortable with it, you're certainly welcome to post your story here so we can read about your mum.

Wonderful that you took your children on that journey. Sometimes I think childhood memories resonant louder than our adult ones. I wrote something for the competiton- just because it had made me think about the death of my Mum and her Alzheimers years ago. The experience was very cathartic and reminded me how much I loved her. The hard part was trimming down to the word limit. Bev Hi Susan

I never wanted it to end. Thanks for this reminder that there's always another way--and when people choose it, they lift us all up for generations to come. A beautiful piece, Sue.

Some things do seem beyond mere words. Like how a deeply religious person might feel having to catalogue the Bible in the library like all the other books. Something like that....I'm sorry about your grandmother. Exactly, Aimee, especially about the fear of not doing it justice. Some things do seem beyond mere words.
