Oh my. We had confirmation at church today and the Bishop was there. I had helped the class a bit. In any case, mass started and a candle tips over into a vase of roses.

Identifying Emotions and Chicken Dinners!
This has got be the hardest thing having been raised in a home of chaos. I ask my granddaughter what she is feeling and help her with words in an informal manner.
