My oldest daughter called me today. She lives in Oklahoma and her home was missed by the tornado on Monday by just a few miles. I've always thought she had a wonderful talent for putting things into words, and the sadness of the recent tornado is no exception. I usually keep this blog for quilting related eye candy - but how can I not share her emotional story about Monday, especially when her husband says to her - "tell your mom to share your post. All those middle age women will want to help." How could I not love him for considering me and my friends middle age; when I am probably far from middle age! OK, maybe not far from, but old enough.

So grab a few tissues and visit her post about the ending to our wonderful weekend in Des Moines to celebrate our middle daughters graduation - congrats Dr Jenna (doctor of pharmacy)!
What a wonderful article your daughter wrote. It made me realise just how lucky we are not to experience what some people take as every day experiences.
ReplyDeleteI tried to post from my phone but apparently I didn't do it right.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your family is safe. It must have been so frightening!!
Thank you for the link to your daughter's post; hearing her first hand experience helped me to understand what people were going through.. what a frightening and devastating time.
