Dede Weldon Casad is mother and grandmother to people I know through Dana’s medical community. Yes, that’s a mother and son.
Dede writes in her book…,
“To be today what we want to become tomorrow
is the simplest formula for growth I know
and the idea holds subtle dynamics:
quiet perseverance, gentleness, and modesty.”
I’m glad for many versions of, “what we practice we become.”
I’m glad for reminders of the things we can do in most any moment that point to this longer arc.
A nod to Dede, her daughter Connie, her grandson Matthew.
