I am taking time for quiet reflection in the still of the early morning here in the mountains with youngest 2 again. A place I love to be either just on my own, with friends or with my kids and community. We have been having all kinds of winter weather this early season so far. Heavy snowfall. High winds. Heavy rainfall. Yesterday for awhile we were inside a vigorously shaken snow globe - snowflakes the size of a child’s hand dancing in every direction to one of grok’s musical selections. In the lead up to this winter, youngest daughter made it clear to me that this is her favorite thing to do with me.
We go out and play in the winter wonder and enjoy the cozy warm cabin, each other, movies, singing, conversation, games and delicious food and drink.
Youngest D’s BF took me to breakfast this week and asked for my blessing to marry my D. He will propose soon upon our return into town. This is wonderful and joyous and I am so thrilled. D has been bonding in a special way over this time with him, and also with her loved and cherished family and close friends. She is ready and loves him.
I respect BF’s maturity and integrity and love for my daughter and I am unreservedly giving my blessing.
