But to this day not one of my children, is even remotely interested in it. What was the gift? It was a song. … More “Goodbye for now, my wee small boy”.
I wonder in time to come, what exactly my children will remember, when they are asked about me? I know I was a very mothering mother, and enjoyed the physicality of being a mom.
