Oh my sweet friend -- I wanted to send you a text, but didn't want to interrupt your special time with your daughter and the trip...and to ask how Rosebud is doing, so to get this message - it means the WORLD to me.

I almost wish you posted this as a story - because I want others, not just me to benefit from the wonderful lesson you teach me.

Thank you, thank you💗💗💗

It brings me comfort Jules - and you are right: this journey will bring lessons that will be good for all of us - and some will be a pain, no doubt.

Life and its turns, huh?

I admire so much that you went to help your daughter Julie -- it's so admirable: that mother's instinct to protect. I'm glad she left him and I'm glad you two were able to reconcile differences...

Thanks for entrusting me with this story so that I may be encouraged, beautiful friend.

Please keep well - and do have the time of your life up there!!!! Congrats to Peyton from your Medium family!!!!!!!!!SOOO awesome!
