March 1

Spring seems to be knocking on Frankfurt's door. After weeks of grey skies and cold winds, today the sun finally showed up, soft and warm and very welcome.

MB, your mother, and I went for a walk in the nearby forest, letting the gentle sunlight filter through the trees. It was exactly the kind of afternoon the soul needed. MB left a little after.

Your mother seemed lighter today, a welcome change after the heavy weeks of worry around her diabetes. She got on the phone with a few friends and talked for nearly two hours, laughing and chatting in a way I hadn't heard in a while. It was good to see her like that again, relaxed, joyful, herself.
