Whooie does this ever hit close. My daughter moved me closer to town when the pandemic started. I now have hot and cold running water and an indoor bathroom, things she never had growing up.
Who says life doesn’t just keep getting better and better.
Maybe I’ve missed it somehow. But I don’t remember Tony ever giving us the back story of how Agnes came to be with Grannie. It probably wasn’t happy at the time.
I’ve often wondered that myself. I look at the homeless and the people stumbling out of bar doors and remind myself that these folks are somebody’s child, and wonder where they got off the path their parents hoped for.
Often in life, I’ve found that what I want to do, and who I want to be, is not who I need to be. As Louisa May Alcott wrote, "I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty;I woke, and found that life was duty.
Agnes is a distant relation to Palanadoon Dorémyer who died by being killed by giant (hopping) snails centuries ago. They look practically like twins. An anomaly had opened up in a certain castle she was working in and the invasion of animals and plants from 200,000,000 years in the future. Poor, poor girl. Only one wood cut remains and the sordid death immortalized in soft blue glowing ectoplasm.

“Why am I asking you? Because, asking the Stuffed Gargoyle probably would not get a an accurate response!”

Not much you can do about it at that point. You enjoy the things you have, roll with the punches, and continue to look forward.
