7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

To MFASRF: Interesting side-story...
...to show you how unreligious our family has become: The setting; family dinner with MPS and family. Just after all the food had been arranged around the table and everyone had slid into their chairs and hands were reaching across the table for serving platters, for some unknown reason MPBIL, who is an atheist and who hates the idea of public prayer on principle, asks (almost like a subconscious burp) if "we should say a blessing".
We all looked at each other, stunned in mid-reach. Including my mother, who said, "No, I don't think that'll be necessary."
Then, MPS and MPNP laughed and dinner began.
