"I count the days, Until childhood ends and something else begins When endless hugs are no longer spontaneously given For every occasion...or just because...." --Margaret M. Desjardins It's only in looking back that we discover the importance of the hugs we gave and received, from our children and grandchildren. But it is only in the present that we can truly connect with our children and grandchildren-through storytelling, a remembering of those accumulated moments in time. Those stories are the shooting stars of our lives. The stories that made us laugh, or cry, or falter. But...those shooting star moments are what connect one generation to the next.
