I do feel young <i>in my mind.</i> In my body, not so much. And, truth is, pretty much everyone assumes that Mia is our daughter. We had Flannery when I was 23, and she went nuts and had Mia at 19 (hence the decision that Mia should live with us). So I was a grandmother at 42. It's one of the ways I'm trying to live up to that grand Scroggins name. Now, if only we could get into a nice trailer.... Rick, what a lovely thing to say. I do feel young in my mind.

You know, when I talk to y'all, we're kids, or we're teenagers, or we're twenty-somethings. Cindy, until this moment, I never would've imagined you and Daryl with a granddaughter. You both seem so young, as I'd like to think I am. But in this moment of realization, I realize I <I>could</I> have a grandchild, too. There <I>is</I> that possibility out there in the world. I will hope for <I>that</I> joy you both so happily share with us on occasion. It is delicious!

It was Daryl Scroggins, matter of fact, who wrote me that it has always reminded him "of a person who only heads to town when it's time to buy snuff and bullets". I like that in a name.

I'm not sure I could stand a misplaced apostrophe tonight. For the record, Mia's last name is Davis. Mia Catherine Davis. That's a lot better than Scroggins. She is our daughter's daughter. And she <i>does</i> rock. Thank you, Rick. I’m not sure I could stand a misplaced apostrophe tonight.
