When your Mama told me you were here, I was driving on the highway and it was all I could do to turn the car around and race back to sleepy you and your sleepy family! I wanted to welcome you! Thing is, our friends were waiting for us at the other end of our drive and I had to keep going in the direction I was traveling. I have some special things for you. I will see you soon. I just don't know quite when yet. Love, Cynthia xxoo Dear Baby Lotta,

I have been wanting to come and see you, all brand new to this world and smelling like a baby! When your Mama told me you were here, I was driving on the highway and it was all I could do to turn the car around and race back to sleepy you and your sleepy family! I wanted to welcome you! Thing is, our friends were waiting for us at the other end of our drive and I had to keep going in the direction I was traveling.

I have some special things for you. I will see you soon. I just don’t know quite when yet.

Love, Cynthia
xxoo

I mean you were attempting to assist the same person on the same day with varying results. I guess there are no easy answers to this conundrum. Still makes me go, "hmmm."

Yet, I know I'm a culprit on both sides of the coin. On the one side - I am an often an avid "do not help me" kind of gal. In fact, I'll go so far as to think someone is in essence telling me that I can't handle it on my own if they think that I need help. (yeah, I know, I can take it a bit far...) Then, I know there was an example last weekend with my husband's grandma where she was struggling to adjust a pillow behind her back and I was initially doing my "don't fawn all over people in case they don't want help" thing, then I could see she clearly needed help. So, I asked and she said it'd be great. Then I got into feeling great and helpful and later that day did 2 things to help her and could tell immediately that they were not what she found to be helpful. Darn! I had to turn off the need to jump in and help. Oh I so relate!! Yet, I know I’m a culprit on both sides of the coin. On the one side – I am an often an avid “do not help me” kind of gal.

I got my text messages and voice mail very late and missed a few things. Most importantly, I missed all that is going on with Ellie and the Kennedy clan.
