We've just passed Jasmine's bday, Cathie's bday and Mother's day all in a 8 day stretch. I am of the mind set that these events are all to be celebrated. Yet this year, there was reluctance for anything special.
As we shared Mother's Day brunch, I was struck that Jasmine shares little of her thoughts with us. There we were, the 3 of us at a nice restaurant to celebrate yet she only contributed to the conversation if directed right at her. She's embroiled in her teenage years trying to establish herself. She's pushing back very hard on Cathie constantly. She pushes on everything. Cathie quickly tires of the constant pressure.
I so miss Alicia's light heartedness and spirit. I fondly remember that when she entered the room, she always had a lightness in spirit which followed her.
