But, as luck would have it, I am on my laptop. This is such a good thing you're doing, Elizabeth.<br /><br />By the way, I found that segment on you & your husband & how he sort of "made you fall in love with him." So sweet. After your first marriage, were you jaded...or simply not looking? Or both? I ask, just because I've recently broken up with somebody I cared very much about & alas... I'm so very jaded. But perhaps I always am & perhaps some more jade-ness would do me good. My eyes are opening to new opportunities that I never considered before, so it's freeing.<br /><br />Hope Sophie, you, and yours are all doing well today.*Tasha*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05724283252279081613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-72209919807699912662011-03-17T05:55:16.119-07:002011-03-17T05:55:16.119-07:00I comment very rarely, but I am here, thinking as ...I comment very rarely, but I am here, thinking as hard as I can. <br /><br />Bless you, <br />PamelaPamela Johnson Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637447850820805268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-79778898324941045092011-03-17T02:15:38.058-07:002011-03-17T02:15:38.058-07:00Wonderful what you are doing Elizabeth.

I read your blog regularly and share your thoughts with my daughter, mother of 6,ages 11, 10, 8, 6-1/2, 5 and 3. <br /><br />She homeschools all the children which makes for very busy days. Her 8-year-old son, Bede, was diagnosed at age 3 with classic autism, moderate to severe. I give my remarkable daughter, her equally remarkable husband and other children much credit that Bede is a happy child, quite affectionate, and increasingly verbal despite his autism.<br /><br />We celebrated his 8th birthday at my house last week, and I gave him a "fuzzy" throw. He immediately wrapped himself in it and said, "It is my birthday quilt. I love it." From a little boy who we thought might never talk, these words overwhelmed us all.<br /><br />The words you write on your blog frequently overwhelm me in the same way.Bugga in OKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664766220635564682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-4920785985990468602011-03-16T21:52:15.584-07:002011-03-16T21:52:15.584-07:00dig it, Mama.

If it is rudimentary, I want to know how to learn how to wade through that and find better stuff. I felt like a jerk after reading what you wrote, not because you wrote it, because I hate struggling to know what is 'real' out there and what isn't...it's like wading through a mine field sometimes to find nuggets of useful information and I just assumed that a site like that was useful information.blogzillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268388544631653375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-11763985667946744422011-03-16T17:38:41.937-07:002011-03-16T17:38:41.937-07:00How can I not de-lurk for such a generous and thou...How can I not de-lurk for such a generous and thoughtful gesture?
