I love the tiny feet of my daughters - they're soft, round and perfect. Those little feet have so far to go, so many kilometers to travel. As individuals, our girls have such amazing adventures to embark on and I will do my best to never hold them back, remembering always that their lives and loves are their own to discover. I will guide them as best as I can, I will love them with all of my heart and I will encourage them to be the people they want to be.

Missing them

They're spread all over the world: NYC, Israel, Melbourne, Perth....

Why is it that my closest friends - those dearest to me - live so far away. Can't spend hours catching up and planning her wedding over a bottle of wine, can't phone her up on a Friday afternoon to go for a Captain, can't go in our slippers to their home for a delicious home-cooked meal and relax while our daughters play, can't sit and compare notes over our youngest children so similar in age.

Would love to see their children grow up and have them know me and want to sleep over at our house. Would love to have my children know their faces instead of just their names.

Another family moving soon - we've become such good friends.

Wow, how I miss them all!
