Our decision was not even primarily philosophical; it was what we thought our eldest girl needed the most, and when she thrived, we thrived, and were grateful for having the luxury of being able to do that.

Your posts have enriched my re-reading of 'Sand Opera' immensely. Maureenhttp://writingwithoutpaper.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
