A lovely meditation on our fragility and strength, too. I love that picture of your with your sweet baby Scarlett. You are so blessed, Sandi, and I am blessed that you are in my life. Thank you for continuing to write these posts and sharin…
There could be no better gift than a baby at this time of year. Congratulations to your family and yes, you are a very young great-grandmother. How fortunate you are to hold those little bundles in your arms. Time goes on and love continues…
You have NO IDEA how happy this post makes me, dear Sandi. I love the connection we share, and I'm so glad that we fellow Vashonistas have each other for the foreseeable future! :-) Love this! So beautifully said!Kalina | www.simplysemiswee…
I could relate to so much of what you wrote, including the broken front tooth (from roller skating). I also came home to hear that my mom was in the hospital quite a few times, however, it sounds like your story might have a sadder outcome.…
Oh, wow, Sandi! This is amazing. Your grandpa sounds like an amazing man - a man of his generation who loved his granddaughter enough to keep candy secrets with her (that was my favorite paragraph of this story). The descriptions were so cl…

What a wonderful, wonderful post! I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and seeing your family. Yes, we are blessed, and I'll light a candle for both of our sons on the Other Side. Sending you love and light! You are a gift for everyone
It sounds to me like you might be handing back the crayons a little early, Sandi. I was so ready to retire that I could hardly wait. It doesn't seem like that's true for you. Nobody is forcing you to do anything, so I applaud your idea of w…
My favorite post in maybe ever. I loved this. Funny, true and underneath everything, nicer to you than ever before. I'm so grateful that you're working to be as whole as you can in these next decades because my next decades would be so sad
Sandi, getting to know you (and your culinary talents) was simply more wonderful that I could have imagined. You were so busy making scrumptious food for me to enjoy that after the weekend was over, I was wishing that I had a bigger dose of…
