It is language, tone, and expectation.

The Empty Chair at the Dinner Table
It started with an argument — the kind that burns through love faster than fire through paper. My brother, Amir, and my father hadn’t spoken in nearly two years. The reason? Pride, misunderstandings, and words said in anger that no one really meant but everyone remembered.

Grandchildren Overnight Again
Okay, my grandchildren are probably a year or so younger than the photo, being at eleven and twelve years old. It isn’t all bad! Much of our time together was fun. I am just feeling my age, with very little patience for the morning scramble, “Grandma, can we go to our house before school. I didn’t bring clean pants.” We don’t have time. I will quickly wash them.

When reading Facebook, I came across my granddaughter’s post. She is a good writer. This is a sample of some of her humorous writing, even though I’m sure that was not what she was thinking or feeling at the time. I thought I would share it with you.

National Days To Celebrate Relatives
There are unofficial national days for almost everything. They are not just days marked on the calendars. Instead, they are days to pause, reflect, and honor whatever has been designated as a national day. It is amazing how many days have been set aside to recognize and honor relatives.

Grandchildren Spending The Night
Okay, so it isn't them now in the photo above. However, it wasn't that long ago - maybe almost a year or even two years ago at Halloween. Yesterday was dress like a boy (Adam Sandler) day. Paxton wasn't going for it. He wore a Vikings Jersey with a Hoodie and sweatpants. I guess that is a boy's look.
