Mary, I do believe I gravitated towards you because you exemplify my deeply held beliefs about human character. Experience is the only thing that can mold a person's character. It pains me to see our country trapped in the cause and effect destruction, generated by a generation of parents who feel they must protect every child from every bump and scrape life may give them. Reading about character or seeing it in a movie just doesn't do it. It has to be done -as your life clearly shows by reaching inside yourself to find the right choices that will take you where you want to go. Finding a way to do for yourself more than letting others do it for you; taking on each new responsibility without complaint or blame. Your example should go home with every new mother-like they sent us home with similac and enfamil to give our babies-I digress!:) Congratulations.
