Time0,

You are so wise in all you've said.

I really like how you said this--- "Children wants to discover the world at their rhythms." -- I realize there are times I have to let go..... just hard to accept that in dire times of need they, at times, turn to someone else.

and also this is something I should probably keep in mind--- "there is beauty in this world but it is not always the people that surround us who will make us see that." -- that is so well said Time0!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing all this-- I really appreciate it.
