Weekly parent: be a weed

I get a bit philosophical in my column this week. Must be the pollen. Enjoy!

    I love plant analogies.
    Here is my sister’s:
    I live like a gardener
    doggedly tending the wild twist of their stems
    fending off what I can of disease
    It is impossible work
    rooted where they are
    and though their beauty demands
    more strength than I lately possess
    still I persist
    in refusing to abandon the effort

    Beautiful, Catnap. Much more poetic than my tortured words. In fact, no one seemed to get the vine twining up and around the dandelion part.

    Thanks for sharing this!

    Yes, she is brilliant. I believe I was adopted.
