Here it is, the end of February already. And what an end to the month!

My daughter and my grandson were kicked out of the house after her ex-boyfriend went on a drunken rage, and they have been with me since Thursday night. They are heading to her father’s for a long overdue visit this afternoon and hopefully a rest for my daughter.

I have seen my daughter, in the matter of two days, become a strong woman and an amazing mother. She has made sure to take care of her son, and also take care of herself and what happens next. I am so proud of her, and so tired for her too. She has had so much turmoil in her short life – I just want her to have some peace and harmony in her life. And I know with so many friends and her family by her side, she will overcome anything that comes her way.

Life is so short – we need to make sure we take care of ourselves and each other. And to tell our loved ones that we love them, as often as we can.
