So, finishing up the Monopoly game in progress last night, S3 (the very "family-oriented" one) was doing everything he could to keep the game going, such as not collecting rents from the less fortunate players, etc. S2 asked him why he wanted to prolong the game. S3 said "Because we never do this all together, with you, me, Dad and Mom. It's always just you, me and Dad..."
W responded, "I'm ready (or able) to do this again now, we'll have more". (slightly paraphrased)
I didn't say a word, though I am sure at least one corner of my mouth turned upwards, it always does....
I know I'm last in line, so expectations still under control, nothing to change up right now, seems "aloof, yet available" is still working on my side as she works through her side....
Another entry of gratitude for my journal.
