Well, we have lived through six recent seizures, three of them in nine days, the beginning of high school, the start of antiepileptic medication, a new way of eating and the many social interactions that occur in the life of a girl in grade eight. Also, our older daughter thinks that it will be okay if I blog about her. That is a giant leap of faith for her and for me too.....
I notice that both our girls have grown up since the summer. They are talking to me about the people they know and others they are meeting; the two of them have a lot to say about how those different relationships are working or not working for them. Fortunately, they are both able communicators.
Our younger daughter is getting a taste of leadership in grade four. She is helping with recycling, kindergarten lunch monitoring, composting and other activities. She relishes the opportunity to help and is especially enjoying meeting the kindergartners and making connections with them.
Their older brother who is a police officer just lost his canine partner to cancer. It is a terrible loss for him and one that also means leaving the canine unit and now working in a new department of the police force.
So new starts occur when something else stops; one chapter ends and another chapter begins. We are almost at the end of this year... And so it feels right to me to start again. Especially when I notice that I started this blog almost exactly a year ago. Now I am different, my family members are changed and life goes on...and on and on.
