Sharon said:Aunt Bett taught me about plants and how to use them.
Ninna taught me about life and feelings and goodness.
Fortunate, I was.
You were, indeed....
I can't speak for the others, but MY tears were because you brought me into your heart -- I *shared* your excitement and joy at being able to provide the critters pretty dishes for their holiday meal, and that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you slipped and mentioned the tree at dinner, and that other sinking feeling when you realized that Ninna had missed her dishes, and they were special to her. Then the relief because she totally understood.
If Ninna had yelled at you, I wouldn't have cried, but the gentle understanding she displayed is so very precious that it made my heart melt.
