Passover is over, a nearly didn't happen getaway trip to Dublin for Jay and I has come and gone again, we've said goodbye to my parents, the kids have returned to school, and I'm blogging catching up on work and on endless mountains of laundry and all the usual crap which piles up when you're not looking. There was a serious health issue underscoring everything we did which made this visit a lot more complex and challenging but at the end of the day we all enjoyed each other and treasured our time spent together all the more despite, or perhaps because of, the difficulties which nearly (and in all honesty should have) prevented its happening.
.
I'm not going to go into the details here, it still feels too raw for blog fodder, but keep those good thoughts heading towards my mother as she recuperates (we still don't know how much or how long) from a debilitating (and debilitatingly painful) injury.

I'll leave you instead with this picture from a very lovely but very chilly Dublin (waving to Mimi whom I had the pleasure of meeting last week), taken while Jay and I were away and my parents were fulfilling the promise to watch their grandchildren which my mother flatly refused to break.
