Nope. When the chips are down. They were/ARE right here. Not only as
they were taught, but as the examples they saw set before them. When I
complimented Debbie recently, she said, "It was the way I was raised." I
have the first-born with those qualities, and I have the *Original Baby*
as she is known, with those qualities. They balance each other,
complement each other. She will even have the privilege of admitting me
for my next IVIG! I've not mentioned it to anyone else, but the absence
of the middle child is pungent with me today. Missing from working with
his siblings.

Billie, Billie, BILLIE.

This brought a smile to my face, despite the mix of emotions I felt while
reading of the other changes and events in your life. Very poignant post.

If we do nothing else in our lives ever, contributing compassionate, kind
and giving children to the world, well raised and able to do the same is
the biggest accomplishment ever.

I'm so glad they're there for you when you need them, taking such good
care of you and Jim during difficult times. I can only imagine how hard
it must be to sit at a distance while Jim has aurgery, but I bet he'll be
back before you know it, and be just fine, too.

Billie, I am replying to Susan's post because she has said
it perfectly. Raising children involves years and years of
uncertainty. Sometimes we even think, when they get to
an age that we feel they should be showing progress, that
we did our best but ...

It is heartening to read your words about your family. Your
struggles ... and now, Jim's ... would be different without
the support of your kids. I wish all the best to you and
Jim today and in the time to come.

Paul
