I've never thought this arrangement was that beneficial to her. My sister gets exhausted with the constant vigilance and her husband is no help at all, just this nit picking lump. Bing tells me that in the handicapped music class that she used to teach, the happiest kids were the ones who DID NOT live with their families. A strange truth, but I think it takes a lot of a caregiver and they either need frequent breaks or be able to have their child away from them, out of love and recognition that they are not a saint and can't be expected to be. I think you made a wise decision with your child.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-32414332834803571512013-09-29T23:56:36.493-07:002013-09-29T23:56:36.493-07:00Such a beautiful recounting of your thoughts and l...Such a beautiful recounting of your thoughts and life's small moments that aren't necessarily small.
