Milestones

The mil is one of the most tenacious women I have known. She is as hardy as they come. She is multifaceted. She can easily converse in 6 Indian languages. She is the president of her Mahila Mandali back home. She wins Rangoli competitions as well as debating competitions. Playing hard and winning are not new to her. She rode on buses to attend debating competitions in high schools (in the early 60s) in neighboring towns, much against her dad's wishes. I have never seen her express her feelings freely other than in some situations with her daughers. But she shed a tear today. Today, was the Scout's first day at daycare.
