I received a pleasant surprise at teatime: a phone call from my wonderful aunt, Beverley. She's Dad's little sister, and she's the glue that holds together the Doyles, who are scattered hither and yon. She was calling to catch up and let me know the results of Uncle Bobby's surgery. If you'd be so kind, please send up some prayers for Bobby Doyle, who is fighting cancer.
Later in the evening, the phone rang again. This time, it was Mom's sister Olga, who — since Mom's death — has done more than anyone else to make me feel like there's someone down here on earth watching out for me.
Chatting with them was a lovely way to spend part of my day.
