"I had a dream..."

I had a dream

and yesterday

 it came true.

Daughter # 3 went

to Boston... the Irish always

find a welcome in Boston for

their dreams.

Jame Lynn went 

to the Omni Parker Hotel

to meet like-minded literary folk

and have her first novel feted.

She stood on the hallowed 

ground where the likes

of Longfellow, Emerson,

Lowell, and Hawthorne 

used to meet.

A daughter's honor

is always sweet. Her

gifts are legion.

She stood proud,

a poet...

speaking for four

generations of women

in need of a voice.

Thank you, Jame, 

for a dream come true. 

Today I'm knitting

a swatch of plaid

and remembering.
