Life Lessons With Gramma C.

This weekend I had a little spat with my daughter that left us both emotional basket cases. She has that unique ability with me, I guess because I hate to see her having to suffer all the things that I did. But sometimes that’s the only way you can learn.

When she emailed to apologize today, I tried to remember how I was at her age and to tell her some of the things I went through, hoping she might learn from my mistakes.

So email is a good thing. It allows us to say things that would be much harder in person, whether because of pride or because I wouldn’t be able to stop crying long enough to say how I really feel. Just be patient and re-read before hitting the send key, just in case the words could be taken the wrong way.
