The story of Daisy told in different ways for each stage of her life. Daisy's story is not particularly happy with a very tragic birth and difficult disappointments in mid-life. She lives a very full life without experiencing the fullness of relationships. Her marriage seems pretty loveless and her kids don't seem to get her, it's pretty sad. But I think it imparts a valuable lesson of the importance of making space for intimacy & trust in your life while you are able.
