Jilly’s Take: That’s so Me!  When I get into my Eeyore head.  Or that’s so Gilda Radner as Roseanne Rosannadanna.  Wamp, wamp. Life! ya know. As always, more to come. The ride is rough but then again, considering the alternatives, I’ll take what I get!! Way to settle Jilly.

My dear friend Mapu checked in to see if I had heard. Terrible news for any parent. The loss of a child. A son who shared his father’s birthday which they both celebrated on St. Patrick’s day of 2021. Three short weeks ago. Hugs and tears. Wordless moments. Makes me pause and realize that now is the time to make a difference.
