It is kind of interesting to think of how we see our family members when we are young children. I never really thought about her in terms of being lonely or sad. I guess she didn't show it but still, it never occurred to me as a child that she was.
I just thought those thoughts kind of fit in with finding old stuff in drawers and attics.
Maybe we appreciate our ancestors more when we remember their good qualities and realize that we must have inherited some of those within ourselves...at least, we hope.
I like your idea for the cafe. It's a nice thought to be able to post about anything on your mind.
Hope you are feeling okay.
