special thanks for extra daughters

Ok, I love them and I like them.  Couldn't get much better eh?  They talk to me and listen to me.  They share their children willingly and I think they even appreciate what I give and get from their kids that they wouldn't if I wasn't around.  Sounding really impressive now, eh?  They accept my mistakes and imperfections, even though they grew up differently than we did and they do it without judgement (mostly).  They ask my advice and love me back.  They are both truly a gift to me.

Recently, they have started going to a few classes at the Y, sometimes in the evenings.  I go with them and I wouldn't go without them.  I don't need them and could go by myself but I know I wouldn't.  I would rationalize that I was too tired or it was too cold or I just don't want to go back out.  I am enjoying it so much and especially enjoy going with them.  It is also a nice change from walking, especially when it is so cold and the ground is frozen and uneven from freezing slush etc.  Occasionally Jason even comes too!

Maybe I should be more humble, but I'm just so happy I can't help myself, elly
