hi desi,
thank you for your concern. it is sick to do anything hurtful to a child and if you don't mind, i will take your tears and pass them on to whoever is suffering such abuse today. i had a loving nana and poppa and have some wonderful parts of my life that i prefer to dwell on. i don't give my mother any more of myself. there is much good to live even with rsd.
love that you love nature too. and i love the family i have made. as i told sue i will soon have two more grandchildren ... twins! i have six grandsons and yet i can't wait. i am only 55 so i have many years to watch all these children grow. my husband and i did good! we only had one daughter and one son and yet see how we have multiplied! ha!
have a low pain night, my friend, joan
