The message

Today I had the weight of disappointing someone I don't want to disappoint follow me.through the day.  It coloured everything, annoyances and frustrations amplified, concentrated moments distracted.  And all through the day I was building to the point where I could raise my concern that I might disappoint, in the future.  I have now done it, oh the joys of instant media, all day to work up to the text.

You should take a moment to watch them, take some time to think about how you want to approach their age, their slowing age.  The time they take to make a decision, do they realise they are going to get it wrong, you have yo spend a lot of time with the grandchild to know what is the right gift.  But getting it right us not the point, making the best effort is.
