“We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’ his name is today.”
Gabriela Mistral, Chilean Poet

I appreciate that reminder, children are so important. Where did you find that quote? Do you read much Chilean poetry? (Not that if you did that would surprise me.) Well-said.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year. Love you all very much. Granny,GG Jet XXXOOO
Liz, my dad passed that along. I used to read a little Pablo Neruda, but not so much time for him these days. Are you a poetry fan?
