A stiff apology is a second insult. The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged;

he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
(Gilbert K. Chesterton)

I took Cari to the airport this afternoon. I think we were a little late getting her there, even though we made her flight in plenty of time.

I'm feeling very blue right now; I can't decide whether it's because I already miss her home, or because I've not really had a chance to have her home with me. I know that children have to grow up -- that's a good thing. I just wish that she didn't also have to grow away.
