Q: I have a nagging worry that I've missed something important. Is it too late for me? Is there a way to catch up? ~tinybetsy Think of what has happened up to this point as the beginning of a song. Like notes softly played on a piano. There is information there, to be sure, but it is only the beginning, and only the piano. Soon other instruments will join, then others will join after those. Then the beat will drop, as the kids like to say. But to miss the first few notes surely doesn’t mean you’ve missed the song. The notes will repeat, as will anything worth repeating. We all meet people well after their stories have begun, and we still befriend those people, or hate them, or fear them, or fall in love with them. This story began well before I began telling it, and I haven’t even started. Thank you for your question. -M
