What a mutually kind relationship you have - taking care to drive her to reduce her stress while she shares her kindness towards others. <br /><br />And then you post it and we all benefit.

You're right, it is so easy to get sucked up in our own lives and ignore those around us.

Most of you have children that have their own set of needs and you spend every day doing your best to support them. Even though the minute to minute work of taking care of a baby or a toddler changes the love only grows. I am lucky.

What a woman. They do make us proud. I remember when they opened up the door and released the mentally ill in San Francisco years ago, and I know that many wanted to be out, and should have the choice, but it is so hard to see those that don't, those that have no choices.jdsanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658357606303732115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324262357834915884.post-6314068757830112082009-12-06T21:05:19.793-08:002009-12-06T21:05:19.793-08:00A wonderful post indeed!

We are very thankful to have homes, jobs, food on the table. My husband and I both went through job losses this year. It was SO DIFFICULT on me, being bipolar (but not knowing it). Now that I have a diagnosis and the Seroquel is working quite well, I can see that things are going very well for us, and that we truly survive those bumps in the road.<br /><br />I know how your daughter feels. It could so easily be us. So easily.<br /><br />xopixiemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343744406666443879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324262357834915884.post-36104136428183340282009-12-05T23:00:00.247-08:002009-12-05T23:00:00.247-08:00Thank you for the beautiful reminder.
