My "agenda" (and I'm always surprised to find I have one!) is that I want to feel more connected to my favorite daughter, to you. Recently I've returned to writing and found it useful. I'm hoping this willingness to share a blog will be useful to us both. For me, I've found if it doesn't pass the useful (or amusing) test, it won't last very long anyway.
For more than half my life I did not want to be anything like my foolish mother. I was nearly fifty before I made my peace with a woman who had been dead for over twenty years. One of the problems for me with her dying so young is that I ended up with no role model for what being over 70 should be like. So, once again, I often feel adrift having to use the trial-and-error-and-error-and-error method to figure things out. I also realize that I have often depended too much on you in similar ways as my mother depended on me.
