surprises

It has been an emotional couple of weeks.

Jolyn read the last post and called me that night. But she did not come home. Instead she told me that she and Bob were going skiing for the week. Why would she do that? Why would she, who is bothered by the cold actualy seek out a snowy mountain for nothing more than sliding down it? It makes no sense to me.

And I thought she would want to know about the rest of her family. The thought of finally getting to know my son rends me nearly in half. Yet she only came back last night.

Far from being excited, she refused to talk about her brother, barely glanced at the photo.
