Get-um while they are young


News of the weird would like to hear that every time (o.k. it's only been twice) I set out to adopt a child, young people I have unofficially "adopted" over the the years magically appear. Maybe they appear just to meet the new member of my great extended family, maybe it is to catch some "mother energy" from me before every drop is sucked from my soul and I am unable to remember my own name. This time around the daughter of a man she and I last saw alive in 1985 found me through a six degrees of separation chain that ended in a reunion over the weekend. She is grown and wonderful and wanting desperately to find any pieces of memory of her father that might still be lurking on the planet. It was a wonderful reunion but the best part was meeting her 7 year old daugher, ...my distant granddaughter of sorts and what did I do?
TEACH HER TO SPIN OF COURSE!
