Dear Kids...

Dear Kids,

I have been trying to write this blog for a few years now…since I got my first Apple in Aberdeen. I meant to chronicle some of our adventures in the UK. And I did. Some. Then, I meant to just chronicle my life with you, or was it my thoughts?...maybe the funny things you said? Or I said? 

At any rate, it hasn't been a regular thing, or what you might call a roaring success. 

But, today, I had an idea. When I thought about things I wanted to write about, I tried to think about my audience. I mean, who reads this little blog? I have my friend at Reasons For Chocolate (Hi Patty!), and I am sure your Grandma and maybe an Aunt, Uncle or cousin, or two, read it. There may still be a few people out there who have read it in the past. A very few.

So, again, who is my audience? Who motivates me to write? 

Well…you do! You three Kennedy kids. 

So, today (and maybe from this point forward. We will see.), I wrote to my grown-up kids. The wonderful young adults you will be some day. 

My hope is that you will laugh, learn…maybe even cringe a little…and we will have a conversation about all this stuff around the dinner table. 

Today, I end with a quintessential A moment:

From the first reading last Thursday at Mass: 

"This is the commandment we have from him:

Whoever loves God must also love his brother."

From A immediately following the first reading last Thursday at Mass: 

"Does God have a brother!?"

Love,

Mama
