Childcare IS the Most Important Work

What is really important in life?
One of my daughters phoned yesterday, on the coach with a migraine, only managing to nurse, change, cuddle and play with her baby. Bitter cold kept them indoors. She was feeling as if she hadn’t accomplished anything for days.
I reminded her
I watched her uncle die last month
realizing St. Paul was spot on
only love lasts
we die stripped of accomplishments
and possessions
The next day she posted this quote from C.S. Lewis, which happens tp be one of my favorite quotes.
Of course. this brings to mind my own infamous quote
