Medical Marijuana Mama Mystery



I felt only the tiniest need to explain things to the young girl at the store where I bought Sophie this necklace today. Henry and I were also buying a present for his girlfriend, and for a moment I believe the girl thought that it was part of the present. I made it clear that the necklace was for my daughter and not the girlfriend and let the image of the middle-aged woman buying a necklace depicting a marijuana leaf for her disabled daughter be a mysterious one. How many chances remain to be a mystery when you're 51 years old?

Sophie remains a mystery at age nineteen.

And isn't it mystery that this weird and ancient plant is changing our lives?

    I think that it is not a mystery at all but a beautiful timeless blessing.
