Or when a certain airline deems you need to sit in an airport for a few hours because there is no plane for you…

Oh eldest daughter, you do not know how my heart sings when you ask if we can knit together. While you sit in my lap, holding the ends of the needles as each stitch is wrapped, pulled through, and slid from one end to the other, I can’t help but to thank the heavens that [...]
